I laid the first set of border pieces on the design wall tonight. They look great. The fabric is directional, and I decided to follow the orientation of the same fabric in the central block nearest each strip.
I'm auditioning two fabrics for the next border. Fabric A is in the large central block, and it would be nice to repeat it. But it seems kind of heavy. I really prefer Fabric B, which is found in the smaller blocks, and I will probably go with it. I don't know if I'll be able to use Fabric A again in the design. At this point throwing it in somewhere seems a little forced. But perhaps a nice opportunity to use it will present itself later.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!
