Worldly Women is Approaching Completion

The next step was to complete the borders. So first I practiced on my Thimbleberries quilt kit. This has 3 borders and came together very nicely following harriet's instructions.

The picture shows the three borders - green, blue and red. They went on easily and only the red one required piecing. I decided to just do a straight seam. You can just barely see the seam in the top border  - it is over the red left border. This is going to be a very nice lap quilt or wall hanging.

I had put off working on the borders because I just wasn't happy with the red fabric that I had gotten for Worldly Women. It was too busy and the tan and black lines were too distracting. I kept trying other fabrics that I had but I just wasn't pleased with the look. Finally, for some reason I dug into the fabric for Summer's Basket of Flowers. There was the perfect red fabric. It is used for the corner blocks and the binding. Needless to say, I will be needing to find a new biding fabric for Summer's Basket of Flowers.

I think Worldly Women looks awesome! Now it is on to layering. I have some more fabric on order that is supposed to be delivered tomorrow for the backing of Worldly Women. I'm going to practice quilting first though on my other quilt. I don't have any backing fabric picked out for it yet but I probably won't do much, if anything, until next weekend.
