It will give the eyes a stopping point and also frame the center. To carry the same theme, I would probably try to use the same color for the binding. Whichever you choose, it is going to be stunning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-85171301856480638142018-12-27T07:21:59.180-05:002018-12-27T07:21:59.180-05:00Read often, don't comment... much.

Keep it simple! I have suffered for more than a decade with neck and shoulder issues and really hate giving up the time for them! Sure takes the steam out of progress.

No fun to be hurting around the holidays.

Your pineapple layout is wonderful. You could check your needle position to see if it will reach all of the areas to be quilted. Is it a square quilt? If not you can run it the narrower way if your quilting design works. It really is a wonderful quilt in the works.

Take it easy with the neck and shoulder. Getting these quilts into the flimsy stage by the end of the week isn't worth suffering, especially if it delays the healing process. You need to be in good shape for the festivities next week!Gretchen Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163051875559827310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-55371688570603690152018-12-19T17:29:49.445-05:002018-12-19T17:29:49.445-05:00You are not the only one suffering neck/shoulder/b...You are not the only one suffering neck/shoulder/back issues this season!

For me, it's a scale issue, as I think that outer border needs more heft, as in a bigger print, or wider stripe. But I totally understand the desire to finish it, as I have one in that state also. You'll just have to decide how much time you want to spend on the border vs getting it done and moving on. <br />As for the inner border, I'm thinking a calm green, not bright. Red would be like arrows pointing to the center, and I don't think you want that. Gold might be ok, but there's already enough in the border frame. Try placing different fabrics in that space to see the overall effect before cutting. Good luck!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020294112107230403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-74201226742601141402018-12-19T15:01:19.406-05:002018-12-19T15:01:19.406-05:00what lovely work!!
