I decided to trim this Marcia Derse Stars quilt to prepare for binding so I could get it off my work table. Once again black could be a choice for the binding but so could a shade of brown work on this one.
I tried several shades of brown and beige and this one is the best choice. It had to be a piece that was at least 1/2 yard which eliminated some other choices.
I'm pretty sure this is the winner. I had hoped I had more of the stripe in the second border but didn't see any in my 2 boxes of Marcia Derse fabric.
It was only 48 degrees yesterday but there was full sunshine so I did a little clean up in the back garden. I cut off all of the old stalks of peony plants that I missed last fall. Then I picked up twigs and branches that blew down with all of the wind we have had lately. Yesterday was calm for a change.
I have all of the quarter blocks made for the Spa Quads quilt so I'll press the last batch and design the final layout today.
