I didn't make much more progress but I think I have made my decision to use these pieced squares borders. At first I thought they were too multicolor but I like them now that all 4 are made. They aren't sewn on yet.
Here is a reminder of the quilt in "the Modern Medallion Workbook". I think I may add a 2" border between the border above and the last border.
The outside border takes 2.5" wide pieces so I got out my box of Kaffe collective strips.
If I add a purple border next the outside border will be all reds and pinks. I found this variety in the box. I'll look for some more that have red and purple in them.
Have you tried putting the pinky/purple corner blocks cattycorner from each other rather than both on the left? I was just wondering what that would look like rather that the more red ones on the ritht and the pinky/purple on the left.
Love the pieced squares border. I think it is neat how you fussy cut the purple corner blocks- a nice surprise.

ReplyDeleteSo pleased you decided to go with the light pieced border and love the purple squares in the corner.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny, they don't look very multicolored at all in the border. It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the pieced squares border. It might look multi-colored up close, but definitely not from my vantage point!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would love to have your stash.
