I also brought this top to the retreat last weekend. It needed borders and I knew I'd have a large table set at a high height and covered with cutting mats.
The red border seems to jump to the foreground in the photo, but it's not really that commanding. These blocks are from a block swap and I used the BQ2 pattern for the layout. There are about 4 BQ patterns now. BQ stands for Big Quilt. Somehow, I missed that connection until I realized that this one will be tough to quilt. I think it will fit on the frame - barely.
Once completed, it will cover our guest bed. I haven't made many bed quilts and I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.
This photo shows the fabrics a little better.
All the blocks are so intricate and interesting. Most were paper pieced.
Enjoy your day!

Love the finished product! I really like that red border, too.
