Last week I received this quilt block from Julie of Floribunda for the center block of the Spring Fling Round Robin quilt. Now it's my turn to add the first border to it. I wasn't sure what to do so I figured that I'd just start by sketching ideas while Steve raced around the racetrack this past weekend.
Just random little sketches. I want to try traditional needle-turn applique for this round robin at some point. But no matter how I tried different variations the floral just doesn't seem to mesh well with the strong geometry. Why fight it? So I'm going with the triangular designs.
Before I start digging in my stash, I wanted to get a better feel for what this would look like. So a bit of EQ5 was in order. Did you know that it can become very addictive playing around with that program? Here's six variations, which one do you like the best?
Click on each design to see it bigger. Should I go with one of these, or go back to the drawing board?
