A friend of mine has been wanting me to make a throw quilt for when her infant grandchildren came over. I went into mystash of leftover fabrics and this is what I came up with. However since this was left overs I don't have anything for the borders. Would like some suggestions. It messures 25x36 right now. The white lines on it are from the light shining throug the blinds I had it hanging on . Thanks for your help

the darker fabric is a dark tan with white dots

I appreciate any suggestions you may have on border choices

It's really cute. I would think the brown color would frame it nicely. Maybe a small borger of green and then the tan?

Very cute quilt top :D:D:D
You could pull out another pastel for the border and maybe a little darker one for the binding :D

I was thinking the same thing. If it matters, using those colors keep it a bit more gender neutral so as the kids grow it won't seem like it's a quilt more for a girl. Overall I think it's just beautiful and I love your colors!

thank you for your suggestion, I was thinking along those lines, but I tend to doubt myself sometimes, not quite cofident enough yet

You can match the colors for the strips or border it with something totally different in color. That's the beauty of designing your own quilts :lol:

What about a floral with the colors in the quilt? :D

I love the idea of a brown border. Not gender specific so the boys and girls could all use it.

Do you have anything darker that matches one of the colors in the quilt? Use that.
