See that bright pink outer border? Do I leave it blank and fill it with quilting or do I put something in it? I have pinned some leaves up to try and help me decide.
In the meantime I decided this would be a good opportunity to sew up the background for another art quilt.
If that looks like a map to you, then you are right. I have printed a map onto fabric and have a very wild 3D embellishment to put on. I usually quilt my art quilts first before adding the embellishments as they are often too bulky to try and quilt around. I enjoy that process, as when the embellishments are added, the quilt is already bound and quilted! Makes me feel like I have skipped a step.
Opinions?

I like the leaves in that pink border. Seems kind of plain without and you are NOT plain.
I like the idea of something there...but I am not sure of the leaves.. It seems to me to want some green and yellow carried through into it.
I like the leaves. I think it balances out the center! You go, girl!
Pull some zig zag into it? Like that map fabric!
I like the leaves in the border!
I would leave off the leaves and do some sort of meandering leaf design in the quilting using a contrasting thread. Orange thread would be really pretty against the pink.I'm sure what ever you do will be great! I love the colors:)
