Border advice on this Irish Sunbonnet Sue Please?
6 Attachment(s)
Hello All. I picked this quilt back up this week after a few months away from it. I have it ready to complete the handwork on the border when I'm away from my machine next week. But, I need some opinions, advice, suggestions, whatever on a final outside border. Currently the quilt is 87" x 87". The irish chain is a mix of reproduction and vintage fabrics. The Sue blocks are vintage with some currenty embroidery added by me to finish them off. This will be a family heirloom as the sue where from my husband's grandmother's collection. So, here are a few ideas, but I am not limited to these. What do you think? Any advice or opinions appreciated. Here's the quilt......
[ATTACH=CONFIG]321946[/ATTACH] Here's a partial pieced border. Should I continue with it? [ATTACH=CONFIG]321947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]321948[/ATTACH] A solid border? doesn't have to be yellow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]321949[/ATTACH] A printed border...doesn't have to be purple? [ATTACH=CONFIG]321950[/ATTACH] Or, no further border at all, other than binding? [ATTACH=CONFIG]321951[/ATTACH] Thanks everybody. |
I think the pieced border should be the one. Maybe put a small border of the light green between and after. Just a thought.

I love the pieced border. It will be a beautiful quilt
|
I also like the pieced border for your beautiful quilt.
|
I really like the pieced border! :)

How about a thin border of the yellow, followed by the pieced border, followed by binding in another solid color other than green or yellow yet pulled from the sue blocks?
|
I like the pieced border best.
