Halloween Sudoku - Border Auditions -

I decided that if I use the border/corner technique -
That Judy Sisneros suggests in her book -
"9-Patch Pizzazz" - (c) 2006 - C&T Publishing, Inc. -
That I could maybe get away with using a fat quarter for the border -

So I dug through my stash -
And pulled some possibilities -
And put them up on the design wall - ;))

Decided I didn't like the gray -
Took it off -
And moved the one on the far right to the bottom -
And switched out the one on the left - ;))

Close-up of the new one on the left -
One of the Sudoku nine -
A medium orange -
Obviously goes with the other fabrics - ;))

Close-up of the top one -
Darker orange with cute spiders -
Definitely says "Halloween" - ;))

Close-up of the one on the right -
Nice orange pumpkins with gold highlights -
Though maybe more suitable for Thanksgiving - ;))

Close-up of the one on the bottom -
It really is more "orange" than "yellow" -
A possible maybe - ;))

Close-up of the first one that was on the left -
Before I switched it out -
A pretty and elegant looking spiderweb with a touch of green - ;))

And then there's the stack of other possibilities - ;))

On my last post - Gerda suggested that I try a lighter "beige" border -
So I dug out a couple of those to audition as well - ;))

The one on the left is pretty light -
A "beige" on white -
Which is difficult to photograph - ;))

The one on the right is more "beige" -
And just as difficult to see - :))

So what do you think about the ones on the wall so far? - ;))

I'm kinda leaning toward the "top" one -
The orange with black spiders -
It definitely says "Halloween" -
And besides - what else am I going to use it for? - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
