Finished one and almost another!!

Ok, Folks! I handquilted and finished a baby quilt and put a sampler
top together. I still think the sampler needs another border of the
yellow, but would appreciate any input from you all!

I like all the baskets. I'd for sure put a border of yellow on it, and
I'd think about a smaller (maybe 1" or less) inner border of a green or
maybe a dark red that matches a color from one of the baskets. You will
come back and show us when it's all finished, won't you?

Thanks, Louise! I never thought about another color, but I have plenty
of red and apple green. I also have some bubblegum pinks as well.
Which would be the best, IYO?

I would add a border. I think it needs the color but stabilizing those bias
edges never a bad idea either.
Which is the new baby quilt? You sure have a lot of great work.

thanks, Taria!
It's in the baby quilts folder, the last one shown.
I am really leaning towards apple green or red. Which do you think?

I like the idea of the bubblegum pink! Go for it!

I agree with Louise, but would go for a red as the narrowest inner
border before the wider yellow. I think that would really pull it all
together.

I looked for a baby quilt folder, but couldn't see it. Is it hiding? I
have to confirm I want to share with picasa and sometimes I forget that bit.

Very cute! I think I would add another yellow border around the outside.

Definitely wants a border! IMO, don't use the light yellow. I think
the darker yellow with the polka dots would be better. Needs some
stronger color to balance the red blocks.
