What would I do without my design walls?! A couple of weeks ago I sketched a medallion quilt pattern and hubby put it on EQ for me. The plan was to use all Kaffe fabrics in blues and greens. After much sewing – flying geese and half square triangles, and much arranging and rearranging on the design wall, it just wasn’t working. I left it alone for a few days and then decided to just rearrange the pieces. This is not even close to the original design, but I do like it. Now it’s border time! I think borders help to make a quilt come alive. I will do a pieced outer border but need to decide on the inner border. Here are my three choices:
Choice #1 – Too Busy – a NO.
Choice #2 ??
Choice #3 ??
I know #1 is a definite “no.” Help! Which do you think works better – #2 or #3? Your help would really be greatly appreciated.
And what about my original quilt design? I still have two bins full of Kaffe fabrics. I’ll happily pull some out and have another go at it another day!

Love it!
#2 for sure 😄
Thank you! Guess I’ll be cutting up #2 tomorrow for the border.
Definitely number 2
I love it! It looks so cool and refreshing. I really like #2, but it depends somewhat on your plan for the outer border.
The outer border will be pieced with the same fabrics as in the body of the quilt. I “think” I have enough fabric!
The colors remind me of being in the water snorkeling…I like #2 for the border.
Ooh…you may have just given me an idea for a name for this quilt!
Count two votes from Mom and I for option #2! 🙂
You both seem to be in the majority – thank you!
#2 looks best to me, the light one seems to disappear. Love the quilt!
Thank you! The lighter green looks better in person, but the camera is very telling. The blue definitely shows up more.
I was just looking at the Kaffe blues/greens this morning. Love them. My vote goes for #2.
