Red, Blue or Aqua.

Last night was a big night!

Ole Betsy was in a really good mood!



 I was having tension issues since I put the quilt on and thread breaking issues.


I did some searching on Google before I started last night to see if I could figure out what was going on.  Things pointed to the fact that if you tighten the rails too tight and have the quilt too taught, it causes problems.  

I loosed things up, double checked my tension...and powered through the second half of the quilt!


Now for a new dilemma.  Binding.  I've decided that there are too many prints in the border and a solid won't clash.  But color?


Red, Blue, or Aqua?

  7. Blue, because it frames the quilt and quiets it down. Fabulous work!

  9. They'd all look nice. The red would stand out more and make the reds in the quilt stand out more, the dark blue will frame it and the aqua I think would be the quietest binding. So whatcha going for?
