This picture is of my "Junk" quilt hot off the machine as the last seam was finished on the center of the quilt. It needs borders now. I am thinking of the color it needs, and will take the day tomorrow to audition different colors. I tried to have all the flower and landscape blocks in this quilt. And all the teapot and cups blocks in here as well. But as I put it on the design wall I found a cup block on the floor. I guess it needs to go in the border!
Helen Roddy Brown, I think her name is actually Lynne Roddy Brown maybe, said that purple is her choice for borders on a quilt with too many colors.
Here is the center of "Junk" on the design wall. I have a CAAWS Board meeting tonight so no work will get done. But I did work most of the afternoon!
And it felt fabulous!

Hi - how about a gentle cream or grey to make the colors pop even more and then rest your eyes before going back - or you could do a Marie and put red as your border (with a black binding).

I love these "kitchen sink" type of quilts. It's such fun.
