| With the center complete, it's time to add the borders. The first border is black so that visually, the small squares of color in the center of the quilt stand out. |
 |
| The second border was an experiment for me, putting red in only two corners. The red was sewn to the black with a bias seam such as those used in making a binding. |
 |
| The final border features the fabric that inspired this quilt in the first place. I bought this flowered green fabric to use as a backing at some point but never have found the right quilt for it. Then I figured it would get used as a backing if it was used in the top of the quilt. Voilá! |
Really like the second border with the red. Think that pops the center squares. For me the red balances the color of the squares and softens the black.
