I tried to add the same sort of scrappy border to my Double 4 Patch that
Lucy added to her quilt. However, I don't seem to have achieved the same effect. My daughter nixed the bright orange fabric on the lower right side. My husband wanted to know "What that thing was that was attached to the quilt." This comment was followed by, "Its coming off, isn't it?". I auditioned several of the other fabrics that I have in my stash and......................
...........this is the one that finally received approval from my husband. It has brown stars on a beige background--a little boring if you ask me, but probably better suited to this quilt than the scrap pieces I had picked out.
I have two chunks of this fabric. I will have to do some piecing to get the borders long enough, but this will end up a scrap quilt made entirely out of my stash.

Yeah! made entirely from the stash is good! And I like the brown too.... You're right, not exciting, but it frames the quilt well.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your daughter about the organge, but other than that I love the top border. Your hubby is crazy! :) But the brown looks good also. I guess it would just depend on who it is for as to which would be best.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laurie Ann about the top border, but the 'boring brown' is not a bad choice, it will also make the quilt more yours as this is your change on the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI think the brown goes with the quilt better. It frames it more.
ReplyDeleteah, everybody is a critic, LOL. The orange is sticking out a bit but I like the scrappy otherwise BUT it is NOT my quilt.
