Update on Brown and Teal Quilt....
 

Remember this quilt? I changed the border to a solid brown and it seemed to have made a difference. The back is pieced with the left over fabric, and I made two pillow cases in brown, with a teal print cuff. My friend is quite happy with the result. Thanks for all your candid comments and suggestions, and for looking.

Changing the borders makes it look like a different quilt. Both versions are very pretty!!

Now that is one gorgeous quilt.

Great job! The border change really made a difference.

Love the solid brown borders and love the pieced back :-) Great job!

Beautiful quilt

glad your friend likes her new quilt

nicely done... i love the colors

Ohhhh, I like both of these and love your back!

I love your quilt. Did you use a pattern or one you made up. I see that it is large hst, Are the sashes straight side pieces with small cornerstone hst?. I love love love the way you mixed different browns and teals.....love the back and love the brown border......great great great quilt. My son would love one like that.

Beautiful!

great colors !!! very nice

They are both lovely! I am a printy-floraly quilter so I do like the 2nd quilt. However the brown is very striking!

That's one of my favorite color combinations. It's beautiful!!

very pretty with either border!

Nice quilt and I love the colors. I want to make a brown and teal quilt. The colors are so pleasing together.

I sashed a 10 inch square then sewed 2 different blocks together diagonally, then cut apart. Missouri Star Quilt has a tutorial called the Magic Square. Check it out. I found it very easy to follow.

I didn't see it the first time around but I love it! And thanks for the tip about the Missouri Star Quilt tut for the "Magic Square". I'll definitely check it out.

very nice. Front and back. I'm reminded of light and shadows through windows.

I don't know which is the "before" but I like them both.

Very nice quilt and great backing to use up fabric.

Oh my gosh - it's totally different. So glad you shared both photos. This is simply beautiful.

Turned out fabulous. Reminds me of shafts of light. The blues and browns play very nice together!
peace

That is gorgeous, great job.

Just great and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Nice job on your quilt. Really like how you did the back.

Awesome quilts!!!!! Love the colors :)

Absolutely beautiful! The colors are stunning!

My favorite color pairing. Nice job with the shading.

Beautiful.

The solid brown border sure made it more 'masculine looking' to me. I like it much better than the floral border.

A very nice quilt.

Love the colors. Beautiful front and back. What is the block pattern you used for the front?

Really pretty. You did a wonderful job on a beautiful quilt!

Yep you nailed it this time..brown boarder is much nicer! Men's opinions often make a world of diffirence. Much more manly now.

This is just beautiful. I love the 3rd picture of the quilt you posted. Thanks for posting.

Very pretty - I love the color combination & pattern. What is the pattern?

Wow! the border change really does change the look of the quilt! The solid brown does make it more guy-ish and actually I think I like it better! Good job...and thanks for sharing both pics. I am truly amazed at the difference the two borders make!

They are both beautiful. The design is very attractive. Is this your design?

I got the tutorial from Missouri Star quilt Company. It is called Magic Squares...very easy

Margie I can't take credit for the design.. I just wanted a quick quilt with big blocks that would not take a long time. Missouri Star Quilt Company Has a very easy to follow tute
