A Third Idea

Here's a third setting idea from my friend Ann (link to her blog on the sidebar - go look at her grandkids... lol)

Ann's a quilter too, and she suggested alternating the dark and light blocks.


Whichever design I end up using, I'd always been planning on adding a couple of borders to take the quilt out to twin sized, I have some deep green and blue calico that should be enough for borders - so I went on and put blocks in that outer border of the two below, then added two more solid borders on. Now which of the three do you like better?

Yes! Yes! YES!!! Third times the charm! and this is it!!! I love Ann's suggestion of alternating the dark/light blocks!!! and your border selections really tie it all together!

Can't wait to see you get started on this one :) Love from Texas! ~bonnie

I like the extra borders but I am leaning towards the dark outer below.

I like this layout the best but maybe it's just because I like it so much better with the borders on.

The borders make a great difference, Jane.

#3 is my choice.

I love this third setting by Ann. Or maybe it's just the borders. Borders do make all the difference, THEY say. Chose the one you like best. You know your heart!

Beautiful quilts, my Mom used to use fabrics from dresses I had outgrown so I had a History of Dresses in a quilt form. Keep quilting.

I like #3 if you haven't made your final choice.

Can't wait to see it in real life.
