Remember the bottomless box of "ready to finish" that I showed last year? Well I haven't made any progress on the current project so I went digging and found another that I haven't shown yet. I was so sure this purple border was going to be just right, and I didn't want a wide border, so I cut and sewed and afterwards was so disappointed. I put it back in the box.
I made all larger squares for the main part of the quilt and half size blocks for the 2 ends, alternated with a print batik square.
I should probably just quilt it and forget it, but it keeps nagging me that I could have done something better.
Well then I'll just take a walk in the garden and maybe I'll know what to do when I come in. The coneflowers are in their prime.
I noticed the center of this one has another circle of little nubs. I wonder if it is a different variety or is just a little older than the other bloom I pictured.
The weather is beautiful again, low humidity, nice breeze. It has been a good summer.

I had considered having no border when I made it. This purple could become the binding (or not). I had tried at least 50 fabrics for a border and nothing seemed to do anything for it. It is 53" x 78" now, 49" x 73" without borders.
