Finally! ready to put on a border on Carolina Crossroads


I love the scrappiness of this quilt and the colors. I realize that it breaks the contrast rule and that the patterns get lost in the scrappiness but I'm very happy with the overall effect. I used nickels from two swaps and fabrics all from stash.
Not sure what I will do for a border but it definitely calls for a muslin back.
this has been a nice diversion for me. Thanks Bonnie!
