I pieced some irregular width strips together yesterday and pinned them next to the quilt with about 1" of the purple border exposed.
Then I folded that strip in half again for a narrower border and added a section of a crazy pieced block. I think both of these work but the narrower one wouldn't take away any glory from the center where the wider border might pull your eye to the outer edge. I will piece some more and play with it.
This is the box I took off the shelf to look for a crazy pieced block in the right colors. It is a "pieces and parts" box.
This is the view from the top.
Here is one of the blocks that was in there. I made this block about 15 years ago. I like it but have never decided what to use it for. I love pulling it out and looking at it so I guess it is just some eye candy for me.
I will be spending the next few days deep cleaning the guest room to prepare for a visit from my brother and sister in law. I will post 5 things from this magic box each day for the next 3 or 4 days while I play with the vacuum cleaner and feather duster.
