Remember this?
Well I'm nearly there. I'm just auditioning borders. I had thought a solid but the solid Bella Iris I had chosen looked to stark. As did every other solid... So I found this lavendar tone-on-tone. Apologies for the pics. It was very windy and nothing would stay down.
I'm still not QUITE sure. The lavendar is a bit, well, girly...
But I couldn't find anything else that would match as well. I'll think on it a while. Do you like the lavendar?

Hmm, I'm sure there are a heap more I've forgotten. They can remain forgotten at the moment. I need to FOCUS!!
Hmmm. Well I would necessarily have chosen the lavender, but it works well with the prints I think. I would maybe go for something orange if you think its too girly? The blocks are looking awesome though!
ReplyDeleteI am working on a Terrain quilt and chose lavender solid for something on the top, I haven't decided the layout yet. I am going to use a very dark purple or navy for the binding.
ReplyDeleteLavendar works for me....but you could try continuing the white or picking up some of the greens....really, is there a color that isn't in one of those beautiful blocks?
ReplyDeleteI think the lavender is a great colour for this quilt - I agree that other solids would be too stark and the lavender lets the prints and the pattern be the focus! I do wonder what a white border and lavender binding might look like? I love the quilt design :)
ReplyDeleteIt works well, and it's not too overtly floral to be that girls, go with it :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Lolly, I'd go orange, but it does look pretty x
ReplyDeleteOn my 'puter, the lavender looks a little greyish.
ReplyDeleteWell my first thought is if you aren't thrilled with the lavendar the 1st moment you put it next to the top then it must not be the right choice. For some reason I'm not loving it either. My eye is seeing a white with a very small print in a multitude of colors, to pull out the main colors of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with whatever you end up choosing.
Hmmm, tricky. Sorry, no help here
ReplyDeleteOoooh, well, I'm loving the top! I think the lavender is fun :-)
ReplyDeleteThe lavender looks fine, but if you are not sure, could you try something else. Maybe a soft yellow green.
ReplyDeleteThe lavender is nice, but I think I would also try an orange or a yellow-green like someone else mentioned. I love the blocks though - they look great!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I would lean toward the purple... it is very pretty. But agree with going with an orange if the purple isn't the right fit.
