Ok,here is mine in progress. I did a couple of blocks and then put it up on the wall. So, this is basically a quarter of the quilt.
My first thought was I should have just used my C fabric for the huge triangle blocks. Since it would have seemed to pull the inner part of the block together better than the E fabric. But it works.
I decided to add E as a flange around the outer part before the 2.25 strip (I used two instead of 1.25). That strip is the salmon color which is my B.
I decided to use the C color as the 3 inch border color since it pulls out the C colors of the rest of the quilt. What do you guys think?

beautiful finishes ladies.
put a 3" border on, coz that's what my ruler was.
sorry excuse, but that's what I did. Going to my
bee tomorrow, will have pictures then, debating
about a second border. about 5-6" r somewhere
around that.
How is everyone quilting their beautiful quilts now that
the tops are done????? Big question.

Looking good!!!
Reeskylr- love the salmon border!
Esther- love the yellow and blue combo! Such a bright cheerful quilt!
Anyone else anxiously awaiting to see how the scrappy quilts turned out?
