That's 20 flower motifs, 12 small circles, 18 pairs of leaves around the borders and 4 mini flowers in the corners. Of course, it has taken forever and a day, but I have enjoyed the journey immensely, and will not hesitate to embark on the next project with gusto.

Here is where Bilbo - as so often - is absolutely spot on with regard to quilting advice. She said,"As for binding, think of it as a picture frame. With that in mind the decision will make itself (probably!)"

I've just got to remember the binding lessons that I have learnt - for a start, I'll have to go back and check what width to cut the binding strips...
I think the yellow is perfect as it takes the eye out from the inner border so you can notice the border quilting too. All too often I think people just bind in the same fabric as the border, which is right sometimes, but in a quilt like yours I think I'd be left wondering when and where the edge was.
ReplyDeleteI would have chosen the yellow too, but I didn't want to say so until you had made your decision.
ReplyDeleteDitto everything Sue said!
The yellow 'balances' somehow, I think girls - and I'm pleased with how it looks now. :)
