Oh Susannah Quilt
These three blocks were used to make this quilt top. It's time to give it a border.
What if I connect the blue ends, finishing the pattern in the border?
What if I add an outer border with a yellow checkerboard and a blue stripe?
The trouble with finishing the pattern in the border is that the pattern didn't need finishing. I just made a busy quilt busier. It was fine the way it was.
What if I try a blue checkerboard border?
This is simpler but it doesn't work either. It doesn't really relate to the design all that well and so it looks out of place.
What if I try stacking 3 blue borders?
This is plain and simple so it doesn't compete with the intricate quilt pattern. I think it finishes it off nicely.
