Oct. blocks and auditioning border fabric
Here's a start for the month
I'm auditioning border fabrics for the blocks I won.
This quilt will be for my future nephew due in March.
Here are 4 to start...not sure about any of them.
What do you think?
Any suggestions?
The far left is a molted batik
Under that is a blue on blue bubble print
Then on the right is blue stripes
And lastly the electric green.
These were some fabrics I had in the stash that I found quickly.
There will be appliqued words of "Oh the places you'll go" in white along part of the border (see the cut paper, something like that)

I think the green looks vibrant.
ReplyDeleteI like the green. It makes all the colors pop
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would do a thinner green border first, then either the blue stripes or the motled blue as the outer border. Fun quilt! Love the word idea too.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Andi. She said before I could, LOL!

I like the mottled blue (on the left side of the quilt) the best, I think ... I'd be tempted to add a thin white inner border to float the blocks a little. I love the words you plan to put on the border, too. Oh, The Place's You'll Go is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books.
ReplyDeleteI like Sophie's idea of floating the blocks and using the mottled blue. Love those blocks!
ReplyDeleteI really like how the bright green lift everything up!
