My Florabunda quilt top has both borders on it. I did another "Bonnie" and cut enough 6" wide dark florals to frame out the 2" wide lights I used for the inner border. Mix and match--just use it up!
Now to start a backing tonight. I want to use up a bunch of the florals. I am leaning towards alternating light and dark 10" squares. But me being me, I want to cut up ANY little bits left over so I don't have any little more bits to store. That means I need another quilt to cut out or at least sizes of pieces so I don't end up putting most of this back on the shelf. I have lots more lights than darks, so I may just use lights.
It has been fun to use some non-Thimbleberries. Don't be me wrong--I love them, but a change has been nice.
Here is the quilt folded in half and pinned to my design wall.
Here is what I have left after making the above quilt:
Hopefully after backing it will be a much shorter stack...but I don't really think it will.
