A narrow one, just to frame it, then do a larger black one!! That would look fantastic I think!!<br /><br />I love your 'orca'!! Mine is already at my quilters!! That for me is amazing in itself!!!

I think it would make the center really pop. Great job on this & your newer one.

I understand losing steam. Bonnie's border treatments are almost like making another quilt :*) But I'm sure you will figure out something that fits the quilt and keeps you from burning out entirely. I really like Kate's suggestion. Too simple would not work, and I like pulling the orange out to the borders. Your Pink Posies (for lack of its new name) is really pretty - I love that design.Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686403090969704623.post-27669669123696842532012-04-09T08:29:52.706-04:002012-04-09T08:29:52.706-04:00When I looked at your quilt I saw a purple small b...When I looked at your quilt I saw a purple small border, an oranged medium border and then a black larger finish border.

This one is so close, you're almost there :)<br /><br />And I think the second one really does look like a garden, I agree with Kris, like a formal garden.
