Choosing a quilting design … Always a challenge

Yesterday was spent designing a quilting border for this quilt….

 Winter days in Shades of Taupe
(just love the Japanese Taupe's!)

It's a Crab-apple Hill design that has been in the works 
since 2012! Now it's time to quit it!

This is always a challenge for me.
Thank goodness for "Golden Threads"
LOVE this paper!
It gives you the ability to draw out designs,
place them over your quilt
and "audition" designs before
needle and thread hit the quilt!


Option One is funky feathers
(leaning towards this one!)



Option Two is from a quilting stencil 
(thinking it looks more like ocean waves)



Here is my label, 
elongating one of the houses to fit around the writing,
then adding a few trees!



Today's challenge…
decide on the quilting design
and baste the quilt!

Or maybe I'll go to SCQG sit and sew or
Love a weekend with choices!
