Design Wall Monday #11

On my design wall today is my "Scrappy Trip Around the World" quilt top that I started piecing at retreat in February.  This was a great stashbuster project and is a free pattern from Quiltville - click here.  It looks much better on the computer screen than in real life I think!
All of these fabrics came from my stash, which is so exciting for me... I really am making some headway in using up what I have accumulated over the years! When I first started quilting I bought a lot of darker colours like this, but now I tend to buy brighter colours, so I am happy to clear these out.
Now I just need a border or two to make it a bit bigger...with the 24 blocks it measures 48" x 72".
What's on your design wall today?

I love this! This is one of my favorites to clear out the strip bin. Can't wait to see what you do for borders.

Add to that the fact that each and every one is terrific, how do you do it?
