34th Street - What About Borders? Part 2

When I finished my version of Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street (mine is called 34th Street), I was unsure of what I wanted to use for borders.  Nothing spoke to me.  see my past post (here)

Yesterday I had an Oprah Ah Ha moment when I was folding up an old quilt, and looked at the border, and thought - how would this look on 34th Street?

A light green border, with a red inner border!

So I tested it out by laying 34th Street on top of the old quilt.  At the left is a picture of the old quilt that is underneath.  So the border is settled!!  Only, and there's always an only, isn't there?  I don't have any more of the light green fabric that I used before!


So, off to find a substitute green:
 No, not this one.  No, not the one below either.

 

This is the one!!  So now that it is decided, I can finish 34th Street and get it to the quilter to become a quilt before Christmas!  I'm always glad when one of my quilts bumps along through the pipeline toward completion.

This time of year, the flowers are so beautiful I can hardly stand it!  Yesterday a dear friend brought me a beautiful bouquet of peonies in her beautiful cut glass vase.  Aren't they beautiful?  And their smell is divine.

Next are some blue flag iris that are growing on the golf course behind our home.  Here they are in all of their glory:

God is so good, isn't He?  Have you had any Ah Ha moments lately?
