What size sashing/boarders?
#1
I am working on a Celtic Knot quilt that has 2 colors per 15.5" block on a white background. I plan on a 2 1/2 inch sashing around the blocks.... are there any set guideline for how wide to make the boarders that will go around this center panel?

some one told me once that borders should be in proportion to the block size...so, if a 12" block borders should be 3", 4" or 6" to look proportionate. i'm thinking for a 15" block anything smaller than 3" would look too small, so i would use either 3" or 5" borders. but remember there are no set in stone rules, use what looks best to you.
