A couple of days ago I wrote that I was wondering which border to use for GJ
I had first cut out this blue paisley way back and thought I would use the red outer border...
turns out I wasn't quite sure after seeing it together as the blue was quite busy with no defined 'frame'
As it turned out I didn't have enough of the red for the outer border so it will become the inner border
and the backing (which is cream/brown floral) now will be the outer border
I think I am happier with this combination as the outer border balances the stitcheries and seems to carry on the cream
The red as the outer border seemed to take away from the stitching
Not sure now what I'll do with the back
I'm thinking I might piece some of the leftovers together and use some of the cream outer border for the back as I think I will have enough to do that
Did anyone else do something like that and is there any advice on how to do that as I've never done it before although I have seen it and I quite like the look?
And here are all the blocks together!
Happy Stitching everyone
My SKOW is getting closer!!!!

Thanks so much Laura...I'm happy with it..working on the final 2 now!
Your finish is beautiful and I like the red better for the inner border. I've never done a scrappy backing.
