Border Decisions

After having the center on my design wall for a week, I've made some decisions.

I put a narrow (1/2") black inner border and a full red border.  Right now the border is about 3" but it may be trimmed down a bit.  I tried several ideas, however this piece is so busy that I thought I needed to 'calm it down' with a solid, basic border.  I tried a few "liberated" ideas, but it just seemed too much, just a bit over the top.
This now moves into the hand quilting pile.  There are several larger pieces ahead but one never knows when something calls out to us to work on!
I'm very pleased with my first effort.  Even though the class was Liberated Log Cabins, I don't think these are log cabins.  I'll have to try this again, I still have some solids left over.

And yes, I did manage to add a few new colors to my stash of solids. I think there will be a few more solid quilts in my future. It was interesting to work with only solids, I had a lot more options than I imagined. Give them a try, you might like it.
