It worked!

... and just to prove it, here it is
The original pattern didn't have borders, but I thought I'd add one, so I decided to try a scalloped one.  This quilt is just so not me.  Bright colours? Curves? Scrappy?  Nope, not me at all, but you know what?  I love it!

  4. I love scalloped borders. They make an interesting finish. Maybe you were thinking summer when you chose the sunny colors, and they work nicely together.
