FALLING LEAVES, et al

 

I finished making the last two 
Maple Leaf blocks for my 
little Autumn table topper...
"Falling Leaves"

**********************
Now to choose a border:
???????
Here are my four choices:
Which one do you like?

This print picks up a shade of that pinky 
color in the leaves and the whites...
[gives a bit of a forest feel?]

**************************
This below picks up the golds...
and adds nice pattern near the 
whites...rich looking to me...

*********************

This adds some of the light oranges and
the pink leaves...and is more modern looking
to my eye

***********************

and here the raspberry color is featured...
such a yummy deep color that definitely
highlights those fruits...

I must admit I am at a standstill--I kind of
like them all ...for different 
reasons that emphasize various
colors in my leafy print...and 
provide different vibes...

[maybe leaning just 
a bit to the darker 
raspberry???]

I have more of the leaf fabric and would have
loved to make a lap quilt, but I am
staying with smaller pieces these days...
especially since 
I plan to hand quilt this one...

Let me know your choice...
thanks, ;))))
