Last week-end I managed to squeaze in some sewing and I made a 9patch center. I have seen so many of these blocks on blogland lately that I had to have a go at it too. On top of that I think I had never made one before so here you go. But now I can´t seem to decide which border I will put around. Your opinions are wanted! I won´t tell you which one is my favorite so that you are not influenced. If you don´t like any of them, feel free to say so too!
For my workshop on machine-quilting, I bought some (more!) Valdani quilt thread. I like the variegated ones as they blend so nicely.
And this is the pin-cushion I made at our last quilting group meeting.It was easy and much fun to make thanks to the clear explanations (thanks Martina!).
I am expecting the new socks yarn delivery at the beginning of next week, let´s see what yummy colors I will get this time!

I love gold with brown border, but borders can be not all the same, that is an another solution, two brown borders and two blue borders in opposite...Can't wait to see your final choice...
The gold inner border and the blue for outer border would look great in my house! Let me know when you're ready for my address ;o)
I like the fabrics on the right hand side of the picture.
Ok I'm going to be difficult and say I don't like any of then LOL but what do I know right?
I like the gold next to the quilt but think a nice hunter green patterned fabric would look great as the larger border.
My favorite is the combination on the right. The golden homespun with the floral.
my favourite is also the one on the right side
Love that pincushion - looks like good fun. As for the nine-patch, I like the gold with brown border, but I am a bit partial to browns, so that's probably not surprising! Any of the three would look nice, though.
Personally I'd choose the blue, but since you said "blogland" I will add that from a distance (through the pc screen not the close up) the one on the left with the green boarder looks a bit like your "blog" background, which would tie up your "inspired by bloggers" theme together. :-)
The blue sings to me!! for the outer border. They are all so pretty, you can't go wrong!!
I like the gold inner border. The outer border should be either the other brown - not the one next to the gold, or the blue.
The pincushion is fabulous. I like the blue for the borders -- but I love blue!
The pin cushion box...too cute.
I would go for the brown on the right hand side. But I think it will look great whatever you choose! Good luck!
9 patches are such great fun! I like the cheddar with the blue *s*
That pincushion is amazing! My border preference is the one on the right. But that is just me!
i like the fabric on the right, though im not sure if im crazy about the skinny border color.
i love your pincushion...very unusual and cute!
