Thread: Help me decide on border fabric please.

I am making a baby quilt for nephew's new little boy. I just can't decide in the border fabric. Should it blend in ? Should it contrast? Solid light blue, Checks with Mickey, or the yellow. Can't decide. Please Help.

Very nice quilt! I always like a quilt that uses the darker fabric in the top as a border....maybe a tiny red border, then the "real" border in the medium blue (like the check behind Mickey - or even that checkered fabric itself), and bind in darkest blue?

If you just want one border, I'd go for the dark blue.That's a real cute quilt!

I would love to use the darker blue for the border, but it was a scrap I had and used almost all of it in the quilt.

For a little boy ... the checked Mickey would be perfect!

I think I would perfer the dark border.

Not the yellow. The checks with Mickey would be ok or the light blue since you do not have the darker blue left for a border.

I would take some red and make a popping 1" inner border then go with the Mickey fabric. Adorable quilt!

I see using the dark blue...really cute quilt!!

I agree with this choice! If you don't have the red, then use the yellow for a tiny border before adding the outer border.
