Mountains

Here are the Mountains, finished but without a border yet. I always have a hard time figuring out the border when there is sky in the piece. Another color around the sky "cuts it off" I think. What would you do?

Here's what I did with the last art quilt I made with sky...


This border never felt quite right to me, but I couldn't see cutting off the sky with another color.

I'll put the mountains on the design wall and ponder for some days or weeks before finishing it.

If it were my piece, I would piece the border as well...blue by the sky and green by the mountains to continue the open feel. Very nice Anita.

Thanks, Julie. The more I look at it, the more I know I need to do that, and I'll have to follow the line of the mountain into the border too.
