I finished the first border on my medallion quilt and I couldn’t be happier. I decided I wanted to do two simple blocks that would compliment each other and this gave me the look I was going for.
I wanted the two blocks to be opposite with the background grey on one and the background colorful on the other. To me it gives more of a subtle effect than if I had just used bright colors for the entire border.
I already have the blocks sewn and trimmed for the next border…now if I only could get the time to put it together…
Sharing more soon!

Your borders are looking great. I really, really like the addition of the first grey border, it lets the star really shine before further colour is added.
