Thread: Help with borders

I recently purchased a kit for a turkey twister. I decided I wanted to do different borders then what the kit had. Now I'm not sure I made the right choice in changing the borders. I sewed the inner border I chose on and the two side outer borders on and I think the outer border may be too busy so I stopped sewing. Can you please give me your advice?

I love that outside fabric, but I think you are right. It overpowers the turkey, which is a cute piece on it's own.

Any suggestions on which color borders I should use? I bought the kit and then realized I didn't want mine to look like everyone else's. I know I should've thought of that before I bought the kit. I'm sure I'll use the border fabric the kit had on another project.

I haven't seen this pattern but it is really cute.

I held a brown batik up to my computer screen and I agree with quilt addict. It does look framed. Cute turkey.
