Even though Easter ended up being extended through Wednesday, I did manage to get this far with my fun project "Crows Pins!" on Friday night. So now I am at a quandry. Do I stop, leaving it simple or should I add more. My thought was perhaps a branch coming in on the upper left and a few simple leaves on it or just quilting that in. The crows will all have legs on them and a few may have a thread from the fabric in their mouth. I plan on adding some folds in the fabrics and having some of them go out into the border.What do you think about the border. Is is sufficient? Should I add another or just a binding in a contrasting color? This little quilt measures about 11 X 34 inches. Hope you enjoy my humor for this springtime fun project.

I like the border as is. Some branches and leaves might complete the scene and put the crows in a more detailed context. Legs and thread are good:)
The only thing I didn't understand about was the folds in the fabric. Did you mean to suggest the laundry is sort of rippling?
The idea of a dark binding would really frame it and I think eliminate the need for a 2nd border. If you wanted to do a second border I would keep it dark to put your focus back into the quilt. Again, it is a great frame.
I do love your sense of humor, I have to say. It translates well to your quilts.
I think the title is very funny!
I think a simple leaf or two coming off a branch is a great idea. It will echo the horizontal line of the clothesline and give a point of reference from the where the birds might be coming.
I like the border just fine and would probably keep it simple with a narrow binding.
Super Piece!
I'm not one to like crows, black birds, etc. I think it's just the live versions I dislike. This piece is so cute!
Barbara, this is just DELIGHTFUL!!! Makes me wanna scrap my plans for the day and get in the studio! LOVE the title, too!! Thanks!
I agree with Debra, a few leaves could be nice, maybe a small group of them -- laying them out will show what is best. The birds are so funny, and I hope they won't drop anything on the laundry.
