I finally got the borders put onto this Lily quilt. I drove out to Canmore to the wonderful quilt shop there and I found a good cream fabric for the borders. It's not too yellow or dark and has only a little bit of pattern so the handquilting I am planning for this project will stand out. Now I can procrastinate about basting this... It's 85 inches square so it will take awhile.
So, I forgot to get enough fabric for binding while I was there. (must have been too excited about the bike ride) I almost wonder if red binding might suit it. I'll worry about that once its quilted - next year sometime if everything goes well :0)
Happy Quilting!!

WOw! What a gorgeous quilt! Look forward to seeing your hand quilting.
Your lily quilt is absolutely beautiful and the wide cream border will be a fantastic canvas for all the hand quilting. Sounds like your bicycle trip was the highlight of a beautiful day.
I really like that this lily quilt has four colors in the flowers and not all one color. The half square triangle border is a great frame and the final cream borders all ready for quilting will be stunning.
Loo,s great! Yes, you can imagine binding options as you quilt. Lovely, scenic bike ride.
Such a great quilt! Love the slightly vintage look it has.:)
It's a beautiful quilt, and you will have a lovely time quilting those borders. Maybe a contrasting border would look good. Pretty fabulous destination for a bike ride.
Wow, if I had a bike trail like that, I think I'd be on my bike a whole lot more.
That lily quilt is fabulous! And with all that border for some gorgeous handquilting, it's going to be spectacular! I can't wait to see your progress on it.
What a lovely quilt. Plenty of time to think about binding as you quilt. Can't wait to see your quilting choices.
Pretty colors.
Looking great - the hand quilting will show up beautifully! Wow what a spectacular spot for a bike ride...or for a walk, picnic, anything!
Looks great - and I love your idea of a contrasting binding.
That bike trail looks so fabulous. I miss bike riding. It's tooo hilly here. Those mountains are amazing.
p.s. what a good quilt for hand quilting it will show beautifully
Your Lilly quilt is so pretty. I agree with you about basting a quilt. Not fun.
So jealous of that amazing view on your bike ride!!
The quilt is lovely, as usual!!
