I have been auditioning. What?!?!
Okay, not *me* really. I have been auditioning borders!
I decided that Julia’s baptism quilt really did need borders. It just wasn’t finished. But the border I mocked up here just wasn’t doing anything for anybody. It was *way* too dark.
So I went through my fabrics and auditioned auditioned and auditioned some more. Light green? Medium green? yellow piping? pink inner border or green then pink then green again?
And then when I finally decided on something, I didn’t have enough of it.
So I went to the store and auditioned their choices. And initially bought incorrectly. Incorrectly in that it didn’t work either. I blame that on the 7 a.m. sale skewing my senses!
BUT! I finally have my border choices made! YIPPEE! Good thing too, because this quilt needs to be done for the quilt show in September – Yikes!
More pictures to come soon enough.

I'm nanann! I am a 30-something mom to 2 beautiful girls (6 and 4) living in Austin, Texas. I LOVE quilting and have recently taken up sewing clothes since it is just too much fun to do for my girls. This blog is a little bit about my quilting (or making of “woogies” as they’re known in my household) and other crafts, and a little bit about my two girls.
This whole process just sounds WAY TOO FAMILIAR !
I do this too, and sometimes I think about asking the blogging world for advice………..but then I NEVER follow advice, no matter how good it is, so what’s the point ?
Can’t wait to see your finished quilt. I have faith that it will be great !
