Finished???

I made these blocks years ago and finally put them together. The quilt is finished according to the pattern but as my friend Deb pointed out if I add a border it will be a better size for a single bed.
I just happened to buy some fabric on sale at Hancocks of Paducah which will make a good border. What do you think?

I cant help but remember what 2 borders Pat always says- yeh funnily enough you should have 2 borders. So do I put a narrow border of the pale background on first?
I bought myself some Australia thongs for Australia Day.


These are what we call thongs. What did you think I meant?

  4. Love this quilt! The colors are perfect. Love the borders, it really should have the two borders. Makes it all pop. And I can remember when flip flops were called thongs in the U.S. That was a long time ago. Love the Australia Day thongs/flip flops. Good choice.

    Have a super great day. And Happy Australia Day even if I am a bit late with it.
