While sewing with my friend yesterday, I added the two extra borders to this quilt.
I knew it needed more borders but really wanted to be done with it. Now I’m done . . and can quilt it. I think I’ll quilt it with green thread. What do you think?

Oh yes, that’s it! I think green thread will work great.
Glad you added the borders, it now looks finished. I love the colors! Black sure makes the colors pop.
Green thread is a great idea! Good Job!
Great Borders! Not your Norm, but they frame it well. That cake looks Yummy, and I’d take the cookies with Nuts and raisins please…
green sounds great. did you conside a shade of yellow thread?
The borders did the job of finishing the quilt. I looks great.
It looks wonderful. Yes, the borders make a huge difference. Green thread would be fun.
It’s perfect now! Good job! Yes, green thread will look great.
It is wonderful!! And the borders finish it perfectly. I love the bright green in between the darks. It makes it shine. Green thread would be perfect for it, especially if it were as bright as the green in the border. Great job. Congrats on another finish.
Looks wonderful…the borders were a great addition….and yes green thread is the perfect choice!!
finally it looks so finished, I really like it now. You did a great job.
The borders are perfect. Green thread will be perfect. You are perfect. ;o)
I’m so glad you used the black dotted fabric as the outermost border because I think it is such a pretty way to feature those blocks. Green thread seems like a good choice to me, too.
Green is not my favorite color so maybe I’m prejudiced. I vote for a bright golden color for quilting. It might really perk up the Green border, which I do like. Go figure.
Bright green thread would be perfect. This turned out great – the final borders really finish it off.
The borders look great. How are you going to quit it? This is always the hard part for me to decide what to do.
Beautiful, and I love the tiny polka dots. You will make the best choice on the thread. I wouldn’t be good at that.
Looks great with the borders!!!! Green or orange thread woudl work nicely. Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, it really does look great with the extra borders. Green thread sounds like a winner to me!
Looks great – I know you’ll be so glad you added them! Green thread sound good!
The extra border is exactly what it needed. It looks beautiful. Green thread will be lovely.
I love that quilt sooo much! I agree with the green thread.
Judy, you nailed it with those fabrics. It’s gorgous. Great job and green thread could do the trick.
Love it! It looks just like I pictured it would. Green thread would work well, I think.
It is beautiful with the extra borders. I think green – or even black – thread would be great!

Like the extra borders. Green is the perfect color of thread.
beautiful
just beautiful; also, I really enjoy all of your stories. keep them coming!
Those two borders really finished it perfectly! I think green thread would be fine, I was also thinking a khaki color but, something I read on someone’s blog (I love being exact) suggests quilting it with a thread that matches the sashing! Squiggle some black thread on top and see how that looks!
Perfect!!
I thought it looked great as it was, but wow, what a diffeerence the borders make. As already said: perfect
P.S. Green thread would be smashing
Much better with borders
I think this is one of your prettiest quilts yet! I love the bright colors and know someone is going to be very happy receiving it.
Judy ~ I couldn’t decide re: adding borders but now I’m convinced the quilt did need borders! Amazing! Just like framing a picture the borders just finish the quilt & add so much ~~~rather “pops” now! What a gorgeous gift! Penny
Love the borders and green thread will be perfect
That looks great. The green tread will look amazing
I’d use an orange, green or maybe even purple thread – that’s my favourite combo, orange, green and purple. Those colours always look great together, so I don’t think it will matter which you choose! If you have Signature Citrus, that would be ideal!!
The new borders are PERFECT!!!
