When I went to add the borders to the 'Crossing Path' quilt, I discovered that I didn't have enough of the leaves or burgundy to sew what I wanted. So, I improvised and used the fabrics together. Here is the resulting quilt flimsy. I like it but at 50 x 70 (approximately) it is on the small side. It will shrink up a little bit with the quilting but will be an okay size for a little one.

I LOVE your solution for the Crossings border! It looks so intentional, and adds so much more to the quilt than plain borders in just one fabric or the other could have done. Congratulations on a brilliant finish and Happy Fall!
