Border Changes:
Yesterday I posted one of my Barnyard quilt borders (I have 3 Barnyard quilts in progress). The more I studied it, the more I didn't love it! I kept comparing the photo without the border to the photo with the border.
With Border...It is just too dark for me.
I am keeping this one without a border and will continue to audition other colors to frame it in.
I decided to try that border on my sister Barnyard quilt instead and was pleased! So...I am using the borders for this one instead. I am so much happier with this plan!
To Do Tuesday Report from last week:
1. Design my row for "It's A Garden Party" rowalong - ✔ I want to add a few finising touches but am counting it as checked
2. Assemble a back for my Princess Stars - ✔ I am counting this one because I prepared backs for two other quilts instead of this one.
3. Make the binding for Princess Stars
4. Make a binding for my barnyard quilts ✔ Yes, I made a binding for all three, and yes, I have 10 bindings ready for 10 different quilts in this photo.
This weeks Goals:
1. Prepare backing and binding for Princess Stars
2. Baste Princess Stars
3. Begin quilting Princess Stars
4. Assemble all column sashing for Arizona. Here is what I have done so far.

I agree, but it looks really nice on the second quilt. Maybe a lighter color on the first one???
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Oooh, those bindings all nice and neat waiting to be used look for fab. I see what you mean about the border. I wonder if it is because the backgrounds are different - like the cow has a darker background on the one you used the border on. Anyway, I agree! Thanks for linking up. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI’ll bet a stripe or larger polka dot print in coordinating colors would look great on your barnyard quilt. I agree that the darkish blue fabric is better on the other quilt.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable barn yard quilts! Have you thought of red for a border as in barn? Your bindings are so neat! I store my not-so-neat bindings in a box. That way when I'm ready for them, I know where they are, otherwise I might lose them!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck finding a border fabric that works. It looks great with the 2nd one!! I think it threw the balance off on that first Barnyard quilt (with the blue and green blocks right by the blue/green border.) Super cute quilts!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun quilt with lots to look at, and the border fabric is a perfect choice.
