Maybe It's Done!


Everything is better with rick rack.

The Next Round


I dug through my stash of hand dyes and found a large piece of purple which is on the right side. Does it draw attention away from the middle or unite the whole piece? Should the dark blue be on the inside next to the orange or on the outside where it is now? Or should I have another narrow orange strip between the dark blue and the purple hand dye?
Or should I go with the purple on the left? In real life it has a sparkle but I'm not sure it's exactly the right purple. If I do use it, is the second orange strip too much?
Can you tell that I love auditioning fabrics? Are there enough questions in this post?

More Auditions


I have been sewing polar fleece this week (yes, getting ready for winter) so haven't worked on this quilt. I did play around a bit with other possible borders. I hope to make a decision and get them sewn on next week. It's so beautiful outside today that it seems a shame to stay in the studio.

What Next?


It's time for the next round and as usual I can't make up my mind. Opinions? It's now about 44x35.

Another Option



I found this mottled green fabric in my stash while looking for something else. I kind of like the look. Maybe it's time to re-organize the stash...

Something New


I took my favorite hand dye from last week and started putting borders around it. I am stalled on the fifth one. I cut enough light blue to go all the way around and then decided it was too pastel. The yellow seems too strong. Now I am dyeing a green and yellow piece that will hopefully pick up the colors of the leaves in the flower border. If that fails, I'll be searching for a green leafy fabric at the quilt show in Fargo on the weekend.
