The center of the Pinwheel Garden quilt is sewn...auditioning borders now. Meh for the burgundy print.
The green dot is okay but I don't have enough of it. A big no to the yellowish print. I have no other light prints in the stash--no light blue, pink, green, or purple.
This creamy white looks better than I expected.
I believe there are enough lights in the pinwheels to make this the right choice. With the addition of more green from the vines and leaves to be appliqued, I think it will look great. There is only a yard of it so I'll have to do MATH to see if there is enough. If not, I'll find another at the fabric store that will work.
While I had the camera out, I took pics of the lovely gifts our guests brought: a picture postcard tour of their city, Nizhny Novgorod, a thimble and t-shirt with the city's name, and an adorable set of matryoshka.
The tallest one is only about four inches, and the little bean of a baby about 3/4". I love these!
Tonight I hope to complete all the crosshatching on the Caramel Blues quilt. This needs to be completed by Friday if I want to enter it into the County Fair and there is still stippling, borders, and binding to be done.

Wonderful pieces going on, I like your crosshatching design in your caramel blues. Love those Russian dollies! Good luck in your finish for the fair ~
:-}pokey
I think the cream border will do well with the applique added.
The matreshka (just another spelling option) dolls are very cute. They brought a smile to my face. I have collected them for years. Someday I'll show my collection on my blog.
Good luck finishing up Caramel Blues in time!
The cream looks good, hope you have enough.
Love the little matryoshka, how cute!
Good luck finishing up your Caramel Blues quilt and good luck at the County Fair!
I lost it when I saw the Babushkas...
I like that cream, too. That's going to be a pretty quilt.
What sweet gifts--especially the little Russian dolls!
