I think it's perfect as it is. I suppose you could quilt it with blue thread? And I like QB's idea of using the backing for a border, too.<br /><br />It's so hard to match fabric exactly, isn't it? Even from dye lot to dye lot the colors may vary a little. Do you think any of the Kona fabrics will match? It's hard to tell from a photo, easier, I think, seeing them in person.<br /><br />I certainly hope holidays are not forever changed by this virus year. That would be, perhaps, the saddest part.<br />Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-8588398632173847792021-04-07T18:36:19.185-04:002021-04-07T18:36:19.185-04:00Hi Lizzy, I absolutely love the potential backing ...Hi Lizzy, I absolutely love the potential backing fabric for your blue and white pineapple quilt only I'd be using it for a wide border on the front! It's gorgeous and seems to tie in with the white sashings and provide balance between the blue and white going on in the central portion while also highlighting the bits of green of the pineapple leaves. Love the reds and cheddar in your first photo, I hope you find the red you're looking for to get that quilt completed. Easter was quiet here, we had leftovers for dinner since the fridge was overflowing and no room for any new leftovers. So I cooked our Easter dinner today.

The Kona card is a good idea and HOPEFULLY will get you a closer match. On my screen the cheddar on the cartwheels looks more orange than most yellows?<br /><br />I can remember egg hunts...I think I liked coloring eggs more than playing with them, at least once I was a bit older. Nice to see a 'big' kid going along with grandma! And especially nice that they were friendly to you and Mo!<br /><br />Don't feel bad about not having quilts finished yet! It isn't anything YOU have done or not done, it's due to delays beyond your control!<br /><br />I think I'd just make the borders a bit wider rather than trimming a little off the entire package of fabric!<br /><br />You found some daff blooms! Mine are starting to bloom now, I ought to pick some to bring in.<br /><br />Have a good day and thanks for sharing!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248202844330247654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-31518365165744818922021-04-07T10:46:24.955-04:002021-04-07T10:46:24.955-04:00I think the color card will come in handy.
