This is the way I left my Terra Tumbler for several weeks. Sorry about the bad lighting.
At this size I knew I wanted to enlarge it a bit more so I started looking for a border fabric. The background fabric I have just didn't look right. It was too light and didn't contain the scrappy blocks like I wanted.
Nothing I had in my stash worked either. The blues I have were too pure and the rusts were already taken for the 2nd quilt I'm in the process of making now.
So I decided a nice dark chocolate would be just right. Off to the LQS (which isn't local at all). And I found the just right color.
It's about 85"x92" and should fit a full bed nicely.
Thanks for stopping by....Linda
Good choice!
ReplyDeleteI LIKE IT!! The dark chocolate is PERFECT for Aqua Terra fabrics - gotta get me some! And I tend to go for darker borders, too. I agree that there is just something about them that seems to "contain" the center better on some quilts. ;))
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to finish this quilt off. The checker board compliments the tumblers. And the chocolate pulls everything together. Great job!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood choice. Your quilt looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt turned out so pretty, Linda. I love the borders.
