We have been looking at a lot of pictures. Yours is stunning! As lovely as the body of it is, I think your border pulls it all together and really makes the quilt. Can you tell me, how many fabrics you used in this border? Are they panels? Did the fabrics come with the thin green pattern? As you can see, I am fascinated. Nice work! :thumbup: :thumbup:

The beauty of the border was the fabric. I used a lilac fabric for a narrow border around the quilt. The rest of the border is all one piece. I fussycut the fabric to get the full benefit of the rows. I got a lot of bang of the border fabric. My DSIL made such a wise choice in these fabrics. Thank you all for such wonderful compliments. I almost feel guilty getting all these complements since the whole thing took almost no time at all to put together. Thanks again.

Well, you could have fooled me. And it's not how long it takes to make it, or how difficult it is, it's the vision and ability to put it together to have it come out as beautiful as yours. I must admit, this one really catches my eye. I can only hope mine comes out half as nice as yours. Now... if I can only find the right fabrics... :shock: it's the most fun for me, but other than the cutting, the most difficult. You have given me something to strive for though! Thanks for sharing! :mrgreen:

Lovely, but then I'm a purple freak. I think if it were mine, I'd use the hydrangea fabric or the other print for a backing, but then that's just me. Hydrangeas are one of my favorites.
