While sewing with my friend yesterday, I added the two extra borders to this quilt.
I knew it needed more borders but really wanted to be done with it. Now I’m done . . and can quilt it. I think I’ll quilt it with green thread. What do you think?

Kari in UT says
Glad you added the borders, it now looks finished. I love the colors! Black sure makes the colors pop.
Green thread is a great idea! Good Job!

Great Borders! Not your Norm, but they frame it well. That cake looks Yummy, and I’d take the cookies with Nuts and raisins please…
melody Johnson says

The borders did the job of finishing the quilt. I looks great.
Melinda in CT says
It looks wonderful. Yes, the borders make a huge difference. Green thread would be fun.
Sheryl says
It’s perfect now! Good job! Yes, green thread will look great.
Cathy S says
It is wonderful!! And the borders finish it perfectly. I love the bright green in between the darks. It makes it shine. Green thread would be perfect for it, especially if it were as bright as the green in the border. Great job. Congrats on another finish.
Karen Langseth says
Looks wonderful…the borders were a great addition….and yes green thread is the perfect choice!!
Nancy Garner says
finally it looks so finished, I really like it now. You did a great job.
Judy D in WA says
The borders are perfect. Green thread will be perfect. You are perfect. ;o)
Pat says
I’m so glad you used the black dotted fabric as the outermost border because I think it is such a pretty way to feature those blocks. Green thread seems like a good choice to me, too.
GayleRN says
Green is not my favorite color so maybe I’m prejudiced. I vote for a bright golden color for quilting. It might really perk up the Green border, which I do like. Go figure.
Connie in V A says
Bright green thread would be perfect. This turned out great – the final borders really finish it off.
Heidi says
The borders look great. How are you going to quit it? This is always the hard part for me to decide what to do.
Patsy says
Beautiful, and I love the tiny polka dots. You will make the best choice on the thread. I wouldn’t be good at that.
Roberta says
Looks great with the borders!!!! Green or orange thread woudl work nicely. Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!
Denise :) says
Okay, it really does look great with the extra borders. Green thread sounds like a winner to me! 🙂

I love that quilt sooo much! I agree with the green thread.
diane says
Judy, you nailed it with those fabrics. It’s gorgous. Great job and green thread could do the trick.
Laura says
Love it! It looks just like I pictured it would. Green thread would work well, I think.
Shirley Albertson Owens (sao) says

Like the extra borders. Green is the perfect color of thread.
Diana says
beautiful
Connie in Louisiana says
just beautiful; also, I really enjoy all of your stories. keep them coming!
Chris B says
Those two borders really finished it perfectly! I think green thread would be fine, I was also thinking a khaki color but, something I read on someone’s blog (I love being exact) suggests quilting it with a thread that matches the sashing! Squiggle some black thread on top and see how that looks!
Robin says
Perfect!!
marion morgan says
I thought it looked great as it was, but wow, what a diffeerence the borders make. As already said: perfect
marion morgan says
P.S. Green thread would be smashing
Marsha says
Much better with borders
Sandy says
I think this is one of your prettiest quilts yet! I love the bright colors and know someone is going to be very happy receiving it.
Penny J Holliday says
Judy ~ I couldn’t decide re: adding borders but now I’m convinced the quilt did need borders! Amazing! Just like framing a picture the borders just finish the quilt & add so much ~~~rather “pops” now! What a gorgeous gift! Penny
Jennifer says
Love the borders and green thread will be perfect
Leah says
That looks great. The green tread will look amazing
Lizzy Hentze says
I’d use an orange, green or maybe even purple thread – that’s my favourite combo, orange, green and purple. Those colours always look great together, so I don’t think it will matter which you choose! If you have Signature Citrus, that would be ideal!!
Janina says
The new borders are PERFECT!!!
