Update on Boo Boo

Some of you may remember my boo boo of sewing the double slice blocks on the wrong seam, which left my small rectangles in the wrong corners. I did not rip out too many, but I did have to take apart some, just to redistribute the color.

It'a about as redone as it's going to get. Looks like it will work. Just have to add some border. It's amazing how much this Honey Honey fabric resembles the Ticklish at a distance! Any suggestion for border color? I need to add borders to get the right bed size and I need to purchase fabric for that..

I think I would add the orange(?) fabric to make it pop. I don't see any mistakes. My first ds was a disaster too. lol

I agree the dark orange will make a great border! It looks good!

I like the blues.

I really like it. Any fabric from that line will make a great border and will make that same color pop more in the top. So, what is your favorite color? :)

I lso like the orange think it will make it pop!

I would go with orange also, I love the fabric line you have used, that pattern is great, I made two so far, but I am sure I will make it again.

Love yours, make sure to show what border you put on!

my vote is orange too. the blue blends in. the orange would kick it up a notch. IMHO

I was thinking orange, too

It looks really nice! I would do a white inner border and a aqua for the outer border. I think there's enough orange going on in the top. Whatever color you choose for the outer border will be the most memorable color in the quilt...do you want it to be an orange or an aqua quilt?

I have this same fabric and bought the orange honeycomb fabric for a first border and the larger floral for another border. It is all sitting on a shelf waiting patiently for now but I guess mine will be orange.:D

Well, well, well. I guess I am a combo person. My first thought? A small aqua followed by the orange. BUT I'm an orange kinda person. I do agree with Bubby - whatever you use for the border will make it that color quilt . . .

it looks great..how about a small yellow then a orange?

I was thinking a small orange and then a large of whatever your favorite print is from that line.

My first instinct would be to do the borders with the dark orange or red, like many before me suggested. The beauty of the double slice pattern is if you do mistakingly sew pieces in the wrong direction,it might not be too noticeable( to most people,you will always be your own worst critic-LOL!) Your quilt looks lovely.

I love the colours in this design, it is very much like Ticklish.
I would use Orange as the border, but its whatever you prefer, its your quilt.
Please post a photo when you have finished.

I totally agree. What color do YOU like?

Purple!! :icon_tup:


Ok - I'm sorry, that is my knee-jerk reaction to any "what color?" question, but actually looking at the fabrics there, I really like the orange too. Which surprises me. I'm not really an "orange" kinda girl. It just seems like a nice balance between the pale pinks & yellows and the slightly darker blues.
