I finished my 1st quilt top today. It's about 36"x36" which is a little small for a toddler so I want to add a border.
My question is would you go with a light or a dark color for the border?

It is made with half of Moda Jelly roll, essential dots collection



Thanks

Here are my goodies from eightdandelions

A fabric belt, I love the colors, it will be perfect with my jeans, and a wall organizer for my mail which needs to be hung on the wall.



Thank you so much

A while back I received from goodtimegirl. She sent me the book "doodle stitiching" and a couple of tea towels

Thank you so much. Now I just have to find the time to start embroidery

And from Velvet Rose, some great fabric (the red birds will become pert of a log cabin quilt), awesome buttons and a pattern booklet

Thank you so much Wendy.

Here is everything I got this round.

From Flyraeven, a customized mug (she also sent me a blank one with the markers to make my own), art for my walls and a little owl patch

Thank you so much, I love it all

From girlosun_9, some quilting cutting tools and a tool holder/thread catcher for my sewing machine

The tools will come in handy since I signed up for a quilt block swap

From Im Sew Silly, some awesome fabric (I absolutely love the owls) and circular knitting needles


From Lapoli, a drop spindle and rovings

I can't wait to get started, I love the gray and the pink

Thanks everybody for a great swap

[A little back story:]

A little back story:
My nephew (3) went to work with his Daddy, he was then left alone in Daddy's office for less than 5 min. He managed to find a red permanent marker and colored every bit of exposed skin (face, arms, hands), when asked why he did that, he answered: "I wanted to be the red monster).
So for his birthday, I decided he needed his very own red monster.



I already had every thing to make it.

What do you think?

here's the fabric i picked out.

Velvet Rose received her package and since she has camera problems, I'll post a pic for her.
I made her a reversible Tote Bag.

I received from Avian Flight yesterday, she had claimed me for art for my wall and what she made is absolutely perfect. I love it so much.



Thank you so much Eula

I received from Urvi. Awesome pj pants and fabric
