    I don't know what to do with the borders... Ideas please.
    One thing I thought was to put piping of dark purple and then the outside border.

    This pattern is a Buggy Barn pattern, I will quilt it and then put Yo Yo's in the center of the flowers, each flower is different as I really didn't know what I was doing with this pattern. But I enjoyed it so much. My Granddaughter Jeanette keeps saying to me, Grandma, when are you going to stop quilting for everyone and finish my quilt.

    Yes, I have sewn the entire quilt on the treadle, and enjoyed the Packer game too.

    Too cute! I like the dark purple stopper strip then a border more in keeping with the genre of the quilt that black and white checks. I'm working on a piano key one right now, but any of your pretty pastels would work or stripes of several of them.
