I wanted a six inch border, and cut for that, only to find that the fabric was already cut into (a little self sabotage)...so I was short. Grrr....so I made 3 inch borders. And I am calling it good!! and I do like it....much better than the brown of last post. I have learned a lot...you said to me, " lay it aside and look at it awhile. Figure out what you really want!" Thank you, each of you, for your sage and good advice. Some liked it, some did not, but I learned from each one of you and so appreciate your frank, honest opinions!
Isn't life kind of like that? We plan as kids what we are going to do...and life happens anyway, and I doubt many of us have done everything just like we planned. But it is good anyway!!
I wish each of you a wonderful day!
Julie

The blue sings louder than the brown! Glad you found a good option in your stash--it looks great!
It's lovely and has such a different look than the brown - good choice.
So, so pretty. With either border!
Yes, that's good!

LOVE it . . . SO much better!!!!!
Blue and cheddar a good combo. I'm glad that you're gald!
Good choice...it's beautiful! :0)
Beautiful! Now for the fun part... are you hand quilting ?!?!
And I actually really like that better than the brown!!
Now I can hear it singing, Julie. It is a lovely combination!
The blue fabric frames the quilt beautifully. The geese are flying in a blue sky. Yeah! I'm glad it is singing to you too and that you like it. Great job Julie!!
I think it looks wonderful, your own original design and jus the way you want it!
I love it! The blue and cheddar are perfect!
Blue is great withere cheddar. You didn't go wrong.
L*O*V*E it, my scrap lovin' friend!
I'm glad that you are happy with the decision, I agree it is lovely. Congratulations.
Beautiful. The blue really brightens up the rest of the quilt. Great choice!
This border color definitely looks more YOU.:)
p.s. I've learned never to trust the gals opinions at the quilt shop. They can't see inside my head and know how I really want my quilt to look.:)
This is great, more coordinating than the brown! A job well done and done-done. I did think the brown border was a bit wide.
Looks great, love the cheddar and blue combo. I am sure the brown will find a home somewhere else.
Great job. The blue and cheddar definitely work well together :)
Dear Julie,
looks very pretty, now that I see the difference, you are right, blue is better than brown.
Greetings,
Sylvia
Blue is much better... (But we all have our preferences.)
The blue solves the problem. I like your choice very much.
The blue does look a lot better then the brown.
That is a terrific finish and well worth the wait. I particularly enjoy your combinations of piecing and applique.
Even better! The blue with the cheddar is fabulous! Great job!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Looks lovely :-)
PERFECT!!
Yes, blue is definitely better than the brown. Glad you went with your gut feeling. It looks terrific.
Very pretty blue and a good choice for your quilt. It just seems more in line with the spirit of what you had done. Always good to follow your instinct. Beautiful!
