Design Wall Monday

It's taking me a while to finish the plates. I have a nice template for the centers, and I am gathering and pressing them around it, but I'm slow. I'm going to make a pieced border. I know, weird huh, but I think it will look nice. I was trying to use the fabric from my stash, but I just kept coming back to this pale green with a kelly green border. I tried blues and yellows and all sort of other colors, but this is the one I liked best.

Check out Judy's blog to see what is on other design walls.

LOVE your plates, don't get tired of seeing them. I would have never thought to use that background fabric but it sure works.

This looks great. Don't you hate it when a quilt doesn't want what is available in your stash?
