He wanted to know if the quilt was for Joey as he could see cats in the quilt.  No, this one is not for Joey! <\/p>\n<div>So the center portion of this Black &#038; White Bento Box is now complete. I am now stuck on what borders to add. I had wanted to put two borders on&#8211;the first, a red with black dots and the second, a black with white print that was used in the center of the quilt. My favorite print in the quilt is a Loralie Design print with cats:<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_VOQOwkbSspA\/SVfW7sF9GZI\/AAAAAAAAD94\/-nBX8d5UeeM\/s400\/SophistikittiesTossedBlack.jpg\" border=\"0\">This print is called Sophistikitties.  The only problem with using this as the outer border is that my local quilt shop does not carry this print.  I could use a plain black but I am reluctant to do that as plain black fabric picks up and shows every thread and every piece of lint.  I intend that this quilt will be used as a lap quilt so I would like something that doesn&#8217;t show everything that comes in contact with it quite so much.  I find that the black and white prints camouflage the lint a little better than solid black.  I have also considered using a bright green as an inner border rather than red.  <\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>The possibilities for borders go on and on.  This is why I end up stalled on the borders.  If I can&#8217;t find a suitable black with white print for the border locally, I may end up taking the yardage requirements with me when I head out on my vacation later in January and see what I find on my trip.<\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>For now, this top will sit as a UFO awaiting border decisions and fabric.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My son held up this top for me so I could take the picture.
