Apologies for being a day late with this post, I had unexpected Grandma duties!

Well I’m no further with my quilt, partly because I’m still not 100% decided whether or not to add a border. This is it without the border…

I popped into B&M fabrics in Leeds last week and picked up a couple which I thought would work, I’d taken a strip of the sashing fabric with me, there’s a plain light blue which does perfectly pick up the background of the sashing, I do quite like that for a narrow inner border. I also chose a patterned green which I thought matched, but after getting it home, I don’t think it is dark enough…

I have half a meter of this sage green spotted fabric which I think is a contender…but I only have half a metre! I could do a 2″ border but then I have to think about the binding!! Of course I could do a scrappy border… I think I’ll visit one more shop, the Remnant shop in Harrogate, which does have a good range of quilting fabrics, if there’s nothing there that jumps out then it might be borderless!
