Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Borders for Sunny Side Up

This quilt has been sitting on the counter in my sewing room for several weeks.  The top was pieced but it needed borders.  I was considering a couple of options for the borders but couldn’t decide whether to play it safe or use a little brighter green in the middle border to give it some pop.  I ended up going for the brighter green and I’m still not sure it was the better choice.  I like it well enough though so it will stay like it is.  It took almost as long to cut and piece the borders (over 6 hours!!) as it did to make the quilt center.  The back is pieced, batting is cut and it has moved on to the quilting pile.
