    Default 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 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 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!

    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?
