Advice needed please

 I am trying to get through a few UFO’s this winter before the busy(ier) dance season of my girls starts in April with multiple dance competitions out of town. 

Some of the reasons these UFO’s aren’t completed is because I am questioning what to do next, how to finish them, quilt them, back them etc.  So for my next couple of blog entries I will be asking your advice.

I started this one back in the fall. Blogged about here. I had taken inspiration from all the falling leaves at the time.  If I took inspiration now it would be an all white quilt! I didn’t follow any pattern, just made it up as I went along, using only stash fabrics.

I have since assembled the top and added a border with crumb corner stones.  Do you think I need to add another border?

Happy Sewing!

  4. I think it's ready for quilting - and it would be neat if your binding echoed that inner border.

  5. No other border needed. Love the inner border by the way.

  6. Personally, I would add another border. That sudden jolt of dark needs softening, IMHO.
