I tried to add the same sort of scrappy border to my Double 4 Patch that Lucy added to her quilt. However, I don’t seem to have achieved the same effect. My daughter nixed the bright orange fabric on the lower right side. My husband wanted to know “What that thing was that was attached to the quilt.” This comment was followed by, “Its coming off, isn’t it?”. I auditioned several of the other fabrics that I have in my stash and………………….
………..this is the one that finally received approval from my husband. It has brown stars on a beige background–a little boring if you ask me, but probably better suited to this quilt than the scrap pieces I had picked out.
I have two chunks of this fabric. I will have to do some piecing to get the borders long enough, but this will end up a scrap quilt made entirely out of my stash.
