Well today I've been over to East Bergholt to collect my "Lattice Top" quilt from Janette, the Longarm Quilter. She has done an absolutely AMAZING job as always - and I am just thrilled with this! I chose an all over stars and loops design for the quilting, and after much deliberation, I chose a pale blue thread for the quilting - and a gorgeous royal blue mottled extra-wide fabric for the backing (supplied by Janette) and just LOOK how gorgeous this is!! Now I have t make the decision over the binding - I want to have a scrappy binding, using all the left-overs of either the blue fabrics or the red fabrics - but oh dear - decisions decisions - which is it to be?? I must admit I do prefer the blue, although I know the red will make it "pop" I still get drawn back to the blue. Oh well, all will be revealed tomorrow!!

it looks great nicola... i like red binings and often go with a red on alot of my quilts . you could aways use both red and blue scraps ... or a red white and blue stripe cut on the bias for great effect if you have a stripe in your stash
