Borders on at last!

I have had the top finished for a while......had pink picked out for the borders but it made the quilt 'too pink'....so had to order some green - it arrived on Friday so the borders are on and now I need to quilt it.....so.....watch this space...!


Not the best pic.....looks a little washed out.....will try for a better one later.......I had to wait for Mark to come over and I was lucky he held it up for as long as he did...LOL....Note my little helper on the lounge in the background!

Oj, stunning! It's nice to see that you choosed the green from the Garden party -line. It was the one that I also thought, but then I changed it. Now I'm going to use dark plum.
