Finished piecing the Friendship Star blocks and put them together for a lap quilt for Laura Ann. Work has gotten in the way a bit, but now i'm doing the borders. I love doing borders, because it reminds me of matting and framing a painting, not something i've done that much of, but the possibilities interest me.
Trying to decide now whether to do a pieced border or just keep adding strips in varying widths and shades of purple and green. I'm leaning toward the latter option, because i think it will be easier to make the whole thing harmonize that way. Since i don't have much of the fabric from the stars left, there's a risk of a pieced border in different fabrics fighting too much with the stars.
The colours in this remind me a little of the 70s, like the cover of a book about astrology or wizardry or something. It's a color scheme I never would have dreamed up, if left to my own devices, but that's one thing i like about making quilts for other people: it forces me to discover new things all the time. And I've come to like this, inspite of my initial skepticism.
