Dilemma

Algumas vezes um trabalho pára apenas por uma coisinha de nada. No caso do quilt de bandanas apliquei-me sistematicamente no quilting que acabei rapidamente . Depois fiquei bloqueada na escolha do binding. Parece coisa pequena mas não havia meio de fazer uma escolha que me parecesse acertada.
Sometimes, a little tiny thing is enough to stop a project. When I began the bandanas quilt I made systematic progresses and I finished the hand quilting quickly. Then, nothing. I had no idea about the binding. It seems to be a small issue but I wanted to make a good choice.
As bandanas eram amostras que aproveitei e o tecido do sashing, em creme, demasiado monótono para o usar novamente. Tentei primeiro um tom laranja e depois um tecido preto mas ambas as hipóteses foram postas de lado. Olhei com olhos de ver e pareceu-me que um púrpura iria na onda dos rosas, azuis e tons de púrpuras de algumas bandanas. Fiquei-me por aqui.

I had no more bandanas fabrics because I only had the samples I had used on the top. The sashing fabric was too monotonous to repeat it, with the binding again.
I tried an orange and then a black fabric but both were rejected. I tried to look wisely and it seemed to me that a purple would play well with pinks, blues and other shades of purple of the bandanas. And this was the last trial.

The purple really sets off the other colors in the quilt. Great idea!

The purple binding is inspired. I also like how its coolness contrasts with the warmth of the background. And I know what you mean about a binding color being no small thing.

Tu las has hecho una convinación exquisita para mi gusto :-)
