I did manage some time in the sewing room this weekend between the report writing and laundry. All the blocks and sashing for Grand Illusion were finished up and stitched together.

Now all that's left is to add the borders. I included one option in yesterday's post. After assessing how much fabric is left from making the blocks, I had to come up with a new plan.
There wasn't enough green to do three of five borders in the green. When I really thought about it, why would I want to add five borders anyway? Three borders is much faster.
That's what I'll be working on this week, work load allowing. I'm linking up with Design Wall Monday over at Patchwork Times and Monday Making at Love Laugh Quilt.

I agree with you that plain borders tone down GI. I also agree that 3 borders are faster than 5! Looking good.
These borders look great. I know you are excited to be so close to finishing this beautiful quilt.
Having only 3 borders calms down this quilt even more than the previous plan. I think it will look fantastic!
It's looking great. I like what you've done with the look of your blog too. I don't know when you did it, but this is the first time I've seen it.
I like the simpler border. It seems to contain the center and adds touches of color outside the pieced blocks. Hope you can get farther along on it.
Love the new header for your blog! That is such a great quilt! Glad DT loves it too! Your borders on Grand Illusion will work perfectly fine! Beautiful!
Lovely quilt!
Congratulations on getting GI to the border stage! I am behind on reading so I have not seen the other options yet, but I like the green borders and three is always quicker than five! Like the new header pictures!
Love your ideas for the borders. Hope you get to sewing them on this week. Sandi
The green borders help my eye to rest while looking at this fabulous quilt top. Looking forward to seeing your quilted finish!
Congratulations on getting your Grand Illusion top done. Mine is ready to quilt and has been since January. I better get with the program.
Perfect choice for the borders. Nailed it Kate!
