Auditioning Borders pt2

Both the baby mats are now pieced, and thanks to Sue and Elizabeth's helpful comments on my last post, I have decided on my skinny border - yellow - which I cut this evening ready for piecing and attaching to each top.


I'd love to do a stripy border too - although I've got quite a few bits and pieces of these stripy fabrics, I'll need to work out if I have enough...

    Who said all the borders have to be the same? Baby quilts are GREAT places to use up fabric, trust me - drool and dribble doesn't mind if one border is spotty and the next one has stripes :}

    1. Chip right in, m'dear!

      If I'd have had 'spotty', I would have used it to complement 'stripy'!

      I'm trying to balance both quilts as similar but not the same - because that is just how their recipients will be!

      I'm delighted with the 'butterflies' and 'flowers' fabrics - they tick all the boxes for me, and I do hope you approve of the use they are being put to. ;-)
