Top Complete; Borders and Back to Go

I don’t usually sew during the week. It is a habit I got out of some years ago due to general evening chores, preparation for the next day, etc. Tonight I just decided to sew 3 more seams and now the top of Serendipity Puzzle is complete.


Here is the entire piece. It is very busy and the reds and brown do stick out. It is cheerful. I could just make the back and have it quilted, but will try out some borders before I do that.

  1. Looks great! I love how the dark (is it brown?) triangle moves the eye around. What kind of borders will you try out? Something wavy perhaps?

  2. I am really glad that you pointed out that the brown is acting like yellow or orange usually does. I didn’t think about that and was wringing my hands over how it stuck out like a sore thumb. Great to have a new set of eyes looking at it. THANKS!!!

    Didn’t think about wavy. I was thinking of a small border of the background fabric and then some blue. You don’t see the blue in the quilt, though it is part of the line of fabrics, because I had planned to use as the sashing, but that didn’t work out.

  3. I think the darker color looks great in the quilt – when you see just one block its a little shocking, but in the full quilt – it is perfect!

  4. Thanks. I really worked hard at placing the blocks with the brown in them just so. I didn’t want them right next to each other.
