Auditioning border fabrics is one of my favorite parts of the quiltmaking process. Let’s face it, any time you can just play with fabrics is fun. It’s funny how I almost always chose the first fabric that I throw into the mix. The yellow was in my mind right from the start (no surprise) but I just had to give other fabrics a chance.
Next, I had to decide whether to leave it plain or add some applique. There were several sketches of swirly vines and flowers, but in the end, this simple curve just seemed to fit.
Of course there will likely be some colorful bobbles appliqued here and there. Don't want to overdo it!
As for the name, I’m going to stick with my original thought, “Full Circle”. I truly believe that we will all come full circle in 2021 and work together to build trust and hope and health back in our nation and our world.

Lovely. How about a skinny yellow and then a wider gray? Hugs, Cathy
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I should have tried that before I appliqued all the black vines. Great suggestion though! Maybe I'll have to make a second one!
