Just pulled the pink chemo quilt off of the frame. Pardon the purple Crayola marker in the border, I wanted a quick guide for some wavy flower vines. I like to wash quilts anyway, so the marker will come right out. I'm a little overwhelmed with the pinkness of this one and am tempted to bind it in something completely different. Maybe yellow or purple? Just one of those random thoughts that comes during the quilting process.
While hopping out this morning to get some needed blue thread, I had to check out the clearance section which was half off at Joann's. I love to stock up on quilt backs at half off. The top green is a cozy flannel for the the back of the green crossroads quilt. The next one down is a nice brown that would make and excellent backing or border and the bottom of the stack is a nice nondescript olive. No definite plans for those, but at $2.00 and $1.50 a yard I will be happy to have them on hand.
How about black to frame it?
ReplyDeletewow, we never see bargains like that here in England, our fabric is always expensive. Probably because of the cost of importing it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - I just had goosebumps thinking of yellow as a binding. A nice pinky violet might be just the ticket though!
ReplyDeleteI'm always on the hunt for backing fabric too, sometimes I'm not in the mood to piece one and then I stall out.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is so pretty, I'd go for one of the darker shades you have in the blocks or a pink-violet like Teresa suggested for binding.
Love a good fabric deal myself. Nice work!
