I chose the rail fence design. I can see ribbons of colour in the fields of tulips in the photo. I have tried to duplicate what I saw in the photo into the design of my quilt.<\/p>\n<p>I am now at the stage where I must decide on a border treatment. The photo below is my quilt so far&#8211;it is the centre of the quilt. Please ignore the black surrounding the piece&#8211;this is not a border. I took the photo against a black piece of fabric. The dark zig zag next to the red zig zag looks black, but is actually deep purple. There is no black on this quilt so far.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/1365\/2049\/640\/DSCN4176.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/1365\/2049\/320\/DSCN4176.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><br \/>Do you have any suggestions for borders? <a href=\"http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/\" target=\"ext\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Posted by Picasa\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember this fabric?
