Design wall Monday

Sunday after we got home from church and had lunch, I put the twins down for nap time and worked on this PhD. It was my in between project to work on while I waited for the quilting to be done on the Crayola Quilt recently and so after the Crayola quilt arrived home these blocks got pushed to the back burner.

Now that I have all of the blocks made and joined into large patches (4 blocks) it will go pretty quick to getting the top complete today while the twins nap again. :)

However, now that I see it laying by the border fabrics I purchased... they are not speaking to me. :(

Actually they are speaking to me - rather shouting - "we do not look good together! Don't use the floral as a border but save it for the back instead!"

So after looking at the quilt that inspired me over at patchwork possy again... I think I will put this on hold until I can find something that reads as a solid for the outside border... and shopping for fabric is not in the budget at this time... so doesn't' look like I'll get to finish it up before summer. Bummer.

But looking on the bright side, this means you should see something completely different on next week's Design Wall Monday hosted by JudyL's Mr. Linky! Swing on by and share your link to your report :) and also browse to see what others have been working on. ;)
