He Sees Green, I See Purple
It's almost as though I woke up one morning and found that this flimsy had grown on my wall overnight. I don't recall planning or starting this quilt. I do know that I was piecing nines when someone dear phone to say she needed inspiration to make a quilt in a hurry and I told her 6" blocks with nines. So this quilt is kind of a mystery. It needed to be made -- why, I don't yet know.
Once I had the blocks all up on the wall the way I wanted them, Joe took a look and said it needed some narrow lattice. I wasn't at all sure about that, but he seldom makes a suggestion, so I went ahead and started cutting. I decided if I were going to do lattice I'd just go ahead and do cornerstones (they finish at 1/2") and that led to arranging said cornerstones in a diagonal pattern going down from left to right. It needs a border, and I'm going to let it rest a bit before making that move. If I were going to do it now, I'd try to track down some of that green-background floral (column 3, row c). Himself thinks its a mostly green quilt. I see purple.
All opinions will be considered.

The booze fabric you like is nice but I do hope it is not to bright to take away from the main part of the quilt......
I like the lattice....
I like 3C but I think I'd go for 2F (green) and 5E (purple at dead centre) as border options.
Perhaps this quilt needs to be named "Abracadabra" or "Bibbity Bobbity Boo" as it magically appeared! :)
Hugs!
