During the week I finished a 4 x 9 layout of the scrappy mountains but now have a dilemma. Our guild has set specific sizes for the Comfort Quilt projects and the 4 x 9 layout falls short of the size requirements. Have you ever seen this quilt with borders? I would have to add a 3 inch border to the sides and a 1.5" border top and bottom to bring it up to the size for a comfort quilt. I think this would be awkward looking. Should I add the border or just submit the top as is?
Brown and pink for February - Teddy bears and roses or as Angela referred to the selection baby lambs. I made a few 6 inch blocks using the colours.
I'm late today but I'm linking up with SoScrappy and stopping by to see what others have been up to this week.

The quilting looks amazing. I look forward to seeing the other side of the quilt. I like the scrappy mountain blocks. Sorry I don't have a suggestion on what so to make it the correct size.
Can't WAIT to see the FRONT of your RSC Quilt!!! Scrappy Mountains looks lovely and borders would be fine, too. Maybe plain borders with a scrappy binding? Yes. That works!
Scrappy Mountains is gorgeous as is. I would ask the place where you are donating the quilt if it would be acceptable at that size.
I, too, am waiting to see the front of the RSC quilt!
Nell, Take a look as Bonnie Hunter made the borders for her quilts Scrappy Mountain Majestic.

Beautiful quilting can't wait to see the front.
Have a great week.
I really like your Scrappy Mountain quilt! I need to put that one on my list!
Love your Mountains and don't they go together quickly.
Your February blocks are beautiful. Love the quilting in the star blocks of the sampler.
Your mountain quilt is so lovely the way it is. Would it be possible to add another row of mountains and then a simple border? Why not ask if there is,a size range. Our charity,quilts always are flexible. Or just keep it for a gift in the future. The quilting on your other one is lovely, accenting the blocks.
The quilting looks spectacular! Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
