A couple of weeks ago I asked you all for advice on the rope border of my Down the Rabbit Hole quilt, or more specifically the fabric for the corner squares as I just couldn’t decide what worked best. Thank you to everyone who made a suggestion, it did help reading everyone’s ideas on the matter, even if I did end up going for something completely different!
The replies I received were pretty much split evenly between the sage green…
and the silver grey of the rabbits…
I still couldn’t decide between the two, the green gave a very dominant corner block and the rabbit was very near the running rabbits and I would also have to decide on direction! I decided to ask Helen what she thought. She considered the two and then came up with a completely new idea…
…the passion flower grey of the previous border! Now why didn’t I think of that! It has the lightness of the rabbits but makes it appear like it’s part of the passion flower border. I think it works well. I’ve now stitched on the border, so that is another month of the QAL completed. It’s getting increasingly difficult to photograph as it gets bigger! I’ll show you my progress on the rabbit borders tomorrow with Kathy‘s Hand Quilt-a-long.
That is going to be so beautiful when finished!
