Intuition Quilt, Second go

I never think I have interesting scraps but I lucked out this time. My centre block from this post needed some neutral and/or cool borders and I found these strips from the “View from the park” quilt in my box. The teal batik is one of my absolute favorite fabrics, but it looked a bit too busy next to the flower fabric
so I swapped the two side borders.
The first border is safely in place, so what next…
How about green side borders and a big chunky hot border on the bottom with a little strip of dotted red on the top for balance. Yeah, I think I’m on the right track. The colours seem even brighter in flash light, but there you go, the days are still on the short side up here.

    I like the balance of the warm reds with the cooler colors. It is looking good.

    Isn't it fun when it all starts to fall into place? I think we all have a moment of our childhoods when the PLAY clicks and we let go and have real fun... Nina, you seem to have found a rhythm!
