I finished the Brights top today, and I only had to put the borders on twice to get them right! It’s too large (about 60 x 80″) to get a good picture, but you get the idea.
Now I’m looking at fabrics for the back. I don’t have four yards of anything remotely coordinating, but I do have all these brights, so I think I’ll cut them into large squares and piece them together. Which may procuce more bright strings, and I’ll be right back where I started…hmmm.
Quilting: what do you think? I’m thinking of doing all the quilting in a shiney black thread, or shiney dark gray. Or maybe a varigated colorful thread on just the black borders. Any ideas for color or motif?
Hope you’ve all made the progress you want. I’m linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
