I decided to finish my Quilt Of Mistakes. It is just a 9 patch and 4 patch quilt. The nine patches run along all edges and the 4 patches are all in the body of quilt.

What kind of border can I do to zazz it up a bit? I'm doing a 4-6 inch border. I don't want to do squares lol....

Could you post a picture so we could better visualize a border?

added bad pics taken with cell phone

maybe it just needs a thin then wider plain border with colors to make the blocks pop????

a picture would help.

Renee110

are the pics not showing up for ya'll? I see them...

mommamac

I see them now. I'm thinking what's not to like about it?? Glad you decided to finish.

I'd probably just add a narrow dark color (is it black, blue, purple) border then another plain. I wonder if a 'busy' border will detract from the top.

I can see the pictures. Maybe a floral border with some of the colors from the squares?

I would probably use a print with colors form the quilt---tan border first, then a print...very nice quilt

I don't know what color border but I really like the quilt! :D:D

Piano keys using all the colors would keep with the geometric genre of the quilt. Or just keep building narrow frames in all the colors until it looks finished to you.
