Polly, As many have said before me - absolutely stunning! And Louise's quilting certainly does make it 'sing'. I think either binding choice would work. Red to continue with the 'pop' or green for maybe some 'calm'. But I don't think you do 'calm' often, do you? Beautiful work ladies - kudos to you both. I'm very envious of your talents. Just what I aspire to!

Indeed we did, and you should have warned us to make sure we were sitting down. Pictures! A big thanks to Louise for a wonderful treat. It is truly lovely, you are right to be proud. (Knocking socks off is one good way to trip and fall! Be careful out there!) I do love those little zots of color, and Louise did a fabulous job. It says Noel, but it works for any time of year. So does somebody else have to do your quilting in order for us to get a peek? Although it was a real pleasure to look at the rest of the quilts on Louise's site. Roberta in D

Those Norwegian types don't talk much either. If your DH had been one, that's what he would have said. It's an all-purpose phrase, but as far as I can tell, it means, "Well now I opened my mouth and now I'm in over my head because words fail me!" Roberta in D

It makes a teensy little frame. I like red. Or maybe a nice deep charcoal. Roberta in D

What a very interesting suggestion, Roberta. Red or green would be pretty but charcoal may be the answer. I walked in the living room where the quilt is quietly waiting (along with armed guards, of course) and pondered the idea. That just might be the one. Polly
I think I like the green grass better than the red; but had you considered yellow? Might work? . In message , Polly Esther writes
Oh my! That DID knock off my socks! If it wasn't so special to your sweet pea, I'd try to beg it, but that would be too tacky, so I won't. I like how you added some unconventional colors and fabric styles on a Christmas quilt. I also congratulate Louise on the quilting. So, I'm dancing to that Brenda Lee song ..... "Rock Around the Christmas Tree!"
So, you use quilts instead of orthopedic docs to heal breaks? Way to go, Irene!
Polly Wow love the colors. Quilt has a joy to it. Love it!!!!
Red has my vote also Jane
Polly has a pretty new quilt

Rats! I wish you had called me.....I'd have paddled my canoe up to CR to see Miz Polly's quilt in person! I might have drawn the line at the 270 mile each way detour for that week....but you never know! Louise, your quilting is perfect!! Polly was so wise to let the quilt tell you what it wanted....you listen beautifully. Polly, your fabric choices are delightful and your work is stunning. I do think you should enter it into the quilt show, but at the very least have a picture sent to Fons and Porter. They do like to see what is done with their patterns. Think about it.... I think if I were in their shoes, publishing patterns wouldn't be very fulfilling unless there was some feedback. Congratulations to you both. And thank you so much for posting the pictures.
I thought it meant that it took her bref away and that was ALL she could get out....

I can jez hear Mr Polly calling the Gators.
Beg? Not for this one.gator teef aren't to be messed with.
Butterfly (Sure glad our Miz Pat isn't tacky)
You have every right to be proud. Both of you. wonderful quilt made even more wonderful by great quilting.
Pati, > We've had terrible storms and this may be a duplicate post.
I would use the green. Because it will finish it nicely and not call attention away from the rest of the quilt, which I am afraid the red might do.
Gorgeous. Pati, > Does binding really matter? I can bind this quilt with the green wavy grass
Absolutely wonderful! You and Louise have every reason to be totally proud!!!!! If you ever don't know what to do with it, it can come live at my house. :)

My quilts, crafts, QIs, and more -
I agree. The red already draws the eye out to the sides of the quilt. The binding should pull out a color from the center. Green. Or yellow.
