I have not worked much with plaids so I am not sure what will happen to it when the border is applied but it sounds like you have made the necessary accomodations to support it while you are putting it together. Once it is quilted , the quilting should add stability to it would be my guess...<BR/>I am with you about borders- to me a quilt is not finished until it has a final border so I would feel the need to give it some sort of frame..<BR/>I look forward to see what you finally decide..<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-50930640188525358312009-03-07T02:08:00.000+00:002009-03-07T02:08:00.000+00:00The plaid really sets off this quilt!The plaid really sets off this quilt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-75782221330150138582009-03-07T01:13:00.000+00:002009-03-07T01:13:00.000+00:00I would stop at the red.

Besides, I really think it looks better without the plaid, as that seems to take it into a bit more of a country look.Nancy Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237114827879596130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-52218936493441311242009-03-05T19:10:00.000+00:002009-03-05T19:10:00.000+00:00I'm going to go the other way; I liked it when you...I'm going to go the other way; I liked it when you stopped at the red.

It compliments all the piecework. I know exactly what you are talking about with the wovens. I am hand quilting a quilt that has some of the Daiwbo Taupes that are woven. They do feel fragile compared to our regular cottons.<BR/>Since you have prepped it I hope it will behave.<BR/>Irons his cotton t-shirts? A man after my own heart. My father was the same way...only I did the ironing. He wanted creases in his boxers and of course creases in the bedsheets. Fond memories...he was in the Navy.<BR/>SubeeSubeeSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952143788729940825noreply@blogger.com
