I started this for her for mothersday but I had to put it off for abit. started working on it again I'm gonna add some boarders to the sides to make it wider Any ideas would be greatly concidered.I will post more when done. Also the colors are much different than what picture shows.

I am not a 'orange' person . . . but that is pretty!

If it was me I would lean towards the 'purple' for a boarder, making the oranges pop more. IMHO

sue1964 07-18-2012 09:27 AM

I was thinking something like that also or maybe the brown

Helen S 07-18-2012 09:39 AM

I'd add a 4" border of the purple print, then bind it with the orange. I really like how this turned out and that each of the Dresden's has an independent look. Nice!

sue1964 07-18-2012 09:59 AM

The purple is what I will use.

the orange and purple look great together

mom-6 07-18-2012 10:32 AM

If it were mine, I would put a narrow strip of the yellow between the two darker borders.

Diane007 07-18-2012 03:29 PM

I LOVE orange and it is so nice with purple or blue and I agree with mom6!

Little Sue 4.9 07-18-2012 03:33 PM

I love the quilt and the orange color is what I like so why not add a purple as the outer borderand then bind it in a bright orange. Beautiful job .

What a beautiful quilt! What a lucky Mom you have! I agree with purple for a wider border. I can't wait to see this when it's all done!

Beautiful!!! Love the color combo, wouldn't of thought of doing it myself....but will think of it now!!

Debd 07-20-2012 05:09 AM

Depending on how much bigger you want to make it, how about a partial fan border?

GramaLaura 07-20-2012 05:56 AM

Wow....you are doing a wonderful job!! If it were mine, I would audition a thin border of your light color followed by a wide border with the dk purple floral. Have fun!! :)
