I need help with borders. I'm making a alphabet quilt for my son and I can't decide which border I should go with.

It's not completed yet. It's just rows for now.

What color should I ? Blue or yellow?

Thanks for looking.

I'd use them both. A small yellow and a big blue :)

Babee has a good idea. Yep, I love blue but the yellow gives more 'POP'.

Thank you for all your suggestion. I'm also thinking of including all those fabric as a border. I'm using a jelly roll so I still have a lot left over.

2 1/2 border of BLUE
then a scrap of the left over jelly roll?

What do you think of idea?

What an ADORABLE quilt!! Is that machine embroidered? You are doing a fantastic job.

I vote for the blue too.
