working on the appliqué quilt p. 3
Ok, I am pinning the flowers today into the long sides. I hope it will look ok, since only now I see that maybe the vine is to close to the edges, that should have cut this border 12 inches instead of 11.
Since it is so hot today, will stay in and stitch........... and thank you all for you encouragements and comments..

I think the pink adds a little bit of pop also, and love, love, love the checkerboard border. It adds something special to your quilt. Can't wait to see the next postings. You are doing a stellar job.

You know what.....I think I'd use a strip of the green in the checkerboard - same width as the individual checkers - as a 'stopper' between the checkers and the white of the next applique border.
It feels like the next applique is too close to the checkers and the applique of the first section and over powers it, to me.
