But you're right -- I should let the quilt and the fabric choices I make lead me in a new direction!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-62864593878261693292013-09-01T18:14:06.514-07:002013-09-01T18:14:06.514-07:00Awesome finish.

Your Snowball quilt is so fun - you know I can't resist scrappy quilts! And the inner stripe border is absolutely perfect! I had the same thing happen with a quilt. I had an inner border in mind but it ended up just not working with the quilt. I ended up with a stripe that I would never have even thought of otherwise - and the finished quilt is so much more gorgeous with that stripe than it would have been with the other choice.

I used to dislike stripey fabric but used like you have for an inner border and/or binding this sort of fabric can be so effective.<br />Modern quilting seems to be in favour of not having borders for a lot of quilts - maybe it is because others have hang ups about those last 8 seams and this was an easy solution?crazyquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254457962460331689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-54153400254342055092013-09-01T12:01:42.377-07:002013-09-01T12:01:42.377-07:00What a beautiful quilt top.

I think this is really a "serendipity quilt" ----what I call those times when I have to take a detour and find another option for finishing. I usually learn a good lesson when this happens. A striped binding will be so cute with this.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418828972427644899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517912312104218960.post-12722671203904357172013-09-01T09:51:25.691-07:002013-09-01T09:51:25.691-07:00What a fun quilt - some little girl will love this...What a fun quilt - some little girl will love this one.
