    Haha! What a surprise, you weren't expecting a Tuesday update were you!? I was out for dinner with my parents and my brother last night, so although I couldn't do any work on the quilt itself, I have however planned the colours I want to buy tonight to use for the borders and binding. Using a photo of the quilt and Excel, I came up with the attached pic to try and visualise how I wanted the colours. I tried different variations of the borders/binding colours, but I like this combination best. I am going to choose a white fabric for the backing, and will be using varigated pink thread to quilt it with, so from the back, with the pink binding, it will be all pink and white, which I think is a nice, simple contrast to the crazy colourful front! I am going to Hobbycraft straight after work today, and I have brought the quilt top with me so I can pick the fabrics that go with it best.
    Have a good day y'all! :wink:

    Well, I went to Hobbycraft after work tonight, and now have the fabric and satin ribbon that I am going to use for the borders, binding and backing. It is all in the washing machine as we speak, am itching to get going but I don't have a tumble dryer so I will have to be patient and carry on tomorrow when it has all dried.

    The girl in the shop who cut my fabrics was very generous with her measurements. And on the pink fabric after she measured what I wanted, there was only about a quarter metre left on the bolt so she said I may as well have it as they probably wouldn't sell it anyway! Yaay! My very small stash is growing!

    Enjoy the pics, I hope you are all well this evening.

    White for the backing, pink for the binding, green and yellow for the borders

    Uh-oh...Satchmo likes the green satin!

    Lovely fabrics, and you ARE very lucky to be given the end of roll, THAT has never happened to me :(

    I think Kitchen is a very cheaky chappie taking off with the ribbon, great pictures :D

    Beautiful quilt. But I don't think you are going to be able to give it away . Your quilt ploice have taken a likeing to it. Looks like they have clamed it for their own from day 1. Have to make another. Just for them.
