Chanda your babes are beautiful!

Thank you.

AAAaaaaahhhhhhh. The boys are looking great!!!

Thank you. All out together for day time, but I do put Bonny and Manny in the foaling stall at night, she's so worried about him, and at least in the stall she doesn't have as much area to keep track of. Need to find a little sunblock for his little nose, the pink area is getting a little burned.

The quilt is SENSATIONAL~! I vote for green too, but whatever you choose, I'm sure it will be gorgeous!!!

Thank you. And, when I get to the border, I'll probably post a pic or two with the options. I'm hoping the green I bought goes with it, but it might be too different from the greens I already used. We'll see soon enought. Tonight, I got two strips pinned to the center, need to sew and hten press those, so I can add the last two strips.

 

[chandab]

got my first scam e-mail on the foals for sale; I posted an ad on the LB sale board last night. Actually, I got two e-mails; one the typical scam e-mail and the other I just can't be sure, but looks suspicious. How do you really know on the iffy ones? Just not sure if I should bother to respond to the second one (the first I deleted).

 

[chandab]

NMHR again.

I finished the blocks and added them to the quilt.

Ok, so do you think this green will go with the quilt for a border. I bought it for backing, its xtra-wide; and hoped it would work for border too, but it might be too yellowy, or too something not quite right.

Personally I think it's too yellow green, I seriously love the quilt though!

Do you want to post the email with any personal details left out?

Yep, pretty sure its too yellow green.

Here's another try with green I have on hand:



I kind of like the lighter green, but if neither are right and I want to go with green, I'll have to buy.

I'll try peach next, but later.

Do you want to post the email with any personal details left out?

We'll see. I did respond to the one e-mail, but so far, no response.

I think that one is to blue green

Look forward to seeing how the peach works

There are two different greens in that last picture; a darker blue-green at the corner, and a light almost sagey green along the bottom middle (this is the one I prefer, if I go with a green I already have).

I'm thinking I might forgo the border, and just do a peach binding, but will try it out later.

I need to get out and do chores, its getting late. Waiting for it to cool off a bit.

 

[chandab]

And, here's the peach.

Not sure if I'll go with border and binding; or just the binding wiht no border (so either just 1/4" binding, or like 2" border with 1/2" binding).

 

[Wings]

I think I'd be leaning towards no border right now, it's a very busy quilt (in all the right ways!) but I think I like the peach more then the green.

Chanda, that quilt is amazing!! I think either the light green. the same green that is on the quilt or white... just a little border

I'm no quilter but thats what I would go with

Your baby fur kids are looking soo good

so lovely and cute! and BIG!! why od they have to get so big so fast

lol.

they are all looking brilliant! are you putting any mares back into foal for next season?

I'm out of the greens already in the quilt, I only had small pieces; so will probably go no border.

Man do they grow fast, but they are still so cute, and the first two have both finally quit kicking. Yeah!

I'm not putting any mares back, but will be breeding two other mares. If I can catch Caddy in heat, I'll be breeding her to Topper. And, Baybe is in wiht Che`, hopefully he can get the job done on his own wiht a mare his size (he could never quite reach the tall mares and get it done). [i guess that might be considered putting Baybe back, but she was bought bred, lost her foal, and now with my stallion; so we'll see what they produce.]

I like the peach or the light green. Just beautiful!!!

Thank you.

I'm leaning towards the peach, and binding only, no border.

That's where I'm leaning, just the peach binding; no border. If I had the right green, then maybe, but with the fabrics I have available; I think the peach is best.

As you dont have any more of the green that is already in the quilt, then I agree with a peach border. I dont think either of the other greens look quite right and the 'full' peach edging looks too much somehow!

 

[chandab]

the 'full' peach edging looks too much somehow!

I'm thinking the peach border blends too much with the blocks, so "muddies" the design along edge. Whereas just a peach binding will finish the edge.

 

[chandab]

Ok, one more idea. A narrow green and a narrow peach border; and if its narrow, this green just might work.

 

[chandab]

OOooowwwwww, I like that a lot!!!!

The yet anohter shade/color of green doesn't clash? I've had differing opinions from different people looking at the pictures.

Oh, and here's the other corner with the lighter inner green showing.



Just in case it makes a difference.

 

[chandab]

I don't think so, I just love the look. It's a patterned patch-work and I think the colors accentuate it's beauty.

I have one more picture, it shows more of the quilt with the green and peach borders laid in place to see if they'll work. I think it looks pretty good when you put it all together, instead of a piece here and piece there.

 

[Wings]

I like!!

 

[chandab]

Thank you.

Now to get to cutting and sewing, so I can get it done. I won't however have it done in time for fair... For some reason, fair is about 2 weeks early this year, it starts this Sunday. It used to fall the second week of August, now its the last week of July.
