Making progress

I got the last 2 blocks sewn and assembled the top. Now I'm auditioning for borders. This is about my 8th try and I think I will go with it. There are fish in the multicolored fabric and seashells in the border print, so I guess it is a beach quilt. It was below zero last night again and a hope of 11 degrees today. By Saturday they say we will have 50's. At least the sun is shining today so I can pretend it is warm out.

    I love all your batik fabrics! I found one the other day and thought of your blog, so I bought it. It looks like copper that has those greenish-blue tarnish marks creeping all over it. Where do you find all the diferrent fabrics, and have you ever dyed your own?

    PS your piles look like my whole living room right now! So many bits, so little organization!

    Yes, your quilt looks very summery, very beachy.
    I like your choice of border.

    We're supposed to get to 40 this weekend which is a heat wave compared to today (2).

    I like the blue fish fabric for the border. I can't wait to see it finshed!

    Such a fun quilt. You'll have to show it to Gayle when she comes for the workshop next month.

    Don't forget the fishing net fabric around the stars! I love the blue. It is so rich and deep.

    Yes I can SEA it as a beach quilt and maybe even star fish too.

    Really is a beautiful quilt. Has an enchanting feel to it.

    What a summery feel that gives! I'm thinking starfish at the beach.
    We're back to the -20 range with wind chills today and tomorrow. By Sunday, though, they say we may hit 50!! I can't wait. That's going to feel tropical. LOL

    The blue is perfect for the quilt. Yes, it does have sort of a beachy feel. I think that we definitely get your weather. It is cold hear today and will hit the mid 40's -50's over the weekend. I am looking forward to that!

    I agree, the blue border is perfect.
    It is amazing how warm the sight of a little sun can make us feel!

    And those look almost like starfish! Sometimes they do lose a leg, but they just grow it back. It's a very happy quilt.
