I finished the binding on this one last night. I wasn't sure about this one before I added the border but now I like it. The center part was done over 10 years ago, the purple border added 2 years ago, the pieced border added Aug. '08 and now the quilting and binding in 2009.
In the photo below you can see the fabric I used on the back. It is a batik I picked up on sale many years ago. I had a limited amount of it and that determined how wide the pieced border would be.
There was quite a discussion in the comments for my post yesterday. Most people think I should add color to the quilt I showed. Below is another black and white also started in 2007. One of these 2 quilts, the one shown yesterday, and this one, is going to be just black and white with no color added. I love black and white photography and I think the one below relates more to that because it has a full range of value from white to black. Maybe this is the one that shouldn't have color added, and the one yesterday should.
Any opinions on that?
