Update on Purple Ribbon Box Quilt....
 

When I posted this earlier, it was just pieces on my design wall. Now I have all the pieces sewn together, and it looks much more like a quilt. :) The purples still don't photograph "true," but they are close.

It has ended up larger than I thought it would be. I had to turn my design wall sideways and put it on small stools to get this picture. (Hot Rod, my quilt inspector, helped, of course.)

Now I am thinking of borders. The pattern, Ribbon Box quilt..free online... doesn't call for borders, and I may go with that yet. I could bind it in any of the purples. But I really like borders.... I am going to play with the idea of one border in the darkest purple, cut the same size as the ribbons. Who knows if that is what I will end up with. (I will post the finished quilt though, so anyone interested will know.)

Now that is pretty and I love the purples!

A lovely quilt. My granddaughter loves purple.

Very pretty quilt.
love your cat too.

I would think adding a purple border would "stop" the flow. I was thinking just a white binding would work. Those are just my thoughts; I know you have made many beautiful quilts; and will figure it out. some quilts have to simmer a bit.

Looks very pretty on the wall.

very pretty purples

Love the quilt-and the name for your cat :o

Very pretty! I love the variety of purples.
