Rainbow Borders Pieced and Ready to Go! |
Frankenstein Border Piecing Underway... |
Ta Da! THIS I Like! |
I cut these borders at 2", which would give me a 1 1/2" finished border width. When my Kona Snow solid white fabric comes, I'm going to do a 1 1/2" inner border of solid white, then the rainbow border with mitered corners, and then a wider outer border of solid white. Although I may decide to make my rainbow border even skinner if it threatens to overpower the rest of the quilt.
Five Works-In-Progress On My Design Wall (More Hiding In the Wings) |
Can't do a darned thing with it until my white fabric arrives, though. But that's fine, because I have A NEW PROJECT that I need to start and finish in a SINGLE DAY... Curious? I'll tell you about it when it's FINISHED!
Have a wonderful Wednesday! I'm linking up with:

Your borders sound lovely! I really like how the paws and stars work together. Good luck on your secret sewing!
That border is fantastic and brings the quilt together. I agree, figure out the width once you've got the white in there. I know all about several works in progress . . .
Yep! I love your border too! So much fun on your design board! LOVE IT!
I hate waiting for fabric. But this quilt looks great. Love those colors again the white background! Thanks for your comments on my "unquilting" post. They were a huge source of encouragement.
