A Border Too Wide

The last retreat did not produce a border for

the many strings quilt,

but it did  inspire a new quilt using the borders that were too wide .

Pinned up on the design wall it looked like this.

I had great plans to use the sew along 

leftover gold 2" strips

as sashing for this quilt,

but they weren't really making the colours pop.

So I started auditioning colours.

Just like Goldilocks,

the black was too dark

there's not enough of this green,

a bit too bright,

a lot too dark,

it's so hard to decide!

Finally, I found just the right one.

Some time was spent repairing the edges.

I'd forgotten to do the stay stitching and with 

the curing time it spent in the closet,

there were quite a few stitches that had come

 

undone just enough to require repair.

So what did I choose?

Green! (I found more)

Now I have another flimsy to pin!

I'll have to find some more pins!

Stay Safe and Sew On!
