They nicely frame the quilt and say "finished". I have never done a Bonnie mystery so I can't help you out with any other comments. Perhaps I will do one someday!<br />Your quilt turned out lovely!<br /><br />Oh, white on white fabrics - the painted ones, I really dislike. Is that what you used? I have found when quilting them the "paint" comes off like a powder - very frustrating.<br /><br />JudyOne Minnesota Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324481663679002621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-36183723919209625492013-02-02T09:10:53.976-05:002013-02-02T09:10:53.976-05:00I love, love, love your version of this quilt!!!

Makes me rethink what I think of Easy Street (I did it with Bonnie's colors and I don't much care for it, but I'm glad it's finished!) Personally, I think your borders would look really good with a print that combines the red and green. But what you've got there looks perfectly fine. You've done a great job--thanks for sharing!Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884521740303822488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-64262255176763910922013-02-02T08:17:05.308-05:002013-02-02T08:17:05.308-05:00well done! mine is still in pieces, I love the red...well done! mine is still in pieces, I love the red & white borderElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576522742755637290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483715812459941947.post-60495998871759985912013-02-02T06:43:22.886-05:002013-02-02T06:43:22.886-05:00I think the quilt is stunning in christmas colors!...I think the quilt is stunning in christmas colors!
