I'm not a big fan of borders - partly because I've run out of steam by the time I come to the end but also because I think border-less designs have more movement.

Truly a wonderful collection of memories stored in the cloth. I can tell it will bring you joy for many years.

I'm glad you forgot the borders.... actually I didn't see them at first in the magazine shot - my brain automatically matched the inner border to your binding and I was thinking "Wow, pretty much the same". lol funny how we often see what we expect to see. Well done and congrats on the goddess eyes feature - my daughter and I were just admiring that last week and I had to explain what god's eyes were. Kids these days apparently don't make them. :)Dione Gardner-Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491108842081708676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-81386592261213074152018-01-13T16:46:25.333-05:002018-01-13T16:46:25.333-05:00Beautiful finish!

Actually, YOU didn't decide, the quilt did. Just like she chose the binding. That's WHY she chose the scrappy, multicolored binding, which would have been lost among the borders. She wanted that thin, delicious bit of color just as we sometimes chose a single, slender necklace when the outfit needs nothing more, nothing less.<br /><br />This is a gorgeous quilt, Sandra! I'm so glad you could hear everything she whispered to you :)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-73033896313236126072018-01-13T14:46:22.844-05:002018-01-13T14:46:22.844-05:00I love this quilt....I'll have to look up the ...I love this quilt....I'll have to look up the pattern.I'm not one to have much in the way of black and white fabrics...maybe I'll have to start gathering!SandraChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016700656180845566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-6506057054880682112018-01-13T11:25:54.512-05:002018-01-13T11:25:54.512-05:00The colors are fabulous and I think it is perfect ...The colors are fabulous and I think it is perfect without the borders. Its probably "what the quilt needed" not what the pattern called for. I could have enough quilts for 4 seasons, but doggie is on the bed and one or two of them have too much white for me to do that. Of course, they aren't heirlooms, but one I feel pretty particular about that....

Anyway, I like the blend of black/white and the greens and blues. Such a pretty quilt! I haven't tried the glue baste for binding yet; I usually hand bind, it's something I can do while I watch a show.
