Default Quilt Top
I have been working on this top for 5 years. Somehow it kept getting tucked away. I will add it to the pile of to be quilted. I am debating on leaving it borderless or adding a bright red border. Decisions .....

I think I would add a thin white border and red binding.

I would make a solid, white, boarder and then bind it in a red or green.

I vote for a nice big red border in the darker shades of red in the quilt. Great top!

I totally agree with Prism99. A thin white border would make your nice quilt really pop.

I vote for no border unless you need the quilt to be larger. Easy quilt crosshatching: follow corner to corner.

ManiacQuilter2 I am so nervous to try crosshatch. I have only ever meandered.
