I am making this quilt for a great niece who is expecting a baby boy in June. Working by the seat of my pants and helpful suggestions from a friend. Do you have any suggestions? Haven't come up with a border idea yet. What do you think?

How cute, it is just too sweet !!!!Michele

I just love it! I made my niece a "farm quilt" in March and used South Seas matching fabric that made a white picket fence.

A rail fence for the border?

Cute quilt ... and will provide lots of fun!!
Perhaps include a story book or two about the farm!

You are off to a great start! How fun. :)

Cutest darn thing!!! Great job.

make the border with a combination of animals motifs maybe can be quilted in. Use a green border and do big stiches that rwesembles animals and put his name in it.

Adorable quilt!!!

I love that idea of a rail fence!!
What a darling quilt you made!! :D:D

Just love the cows great quilt

Rail fence or a split rail fence. It is such a cute quilt already

It is so cute. How about a checkboard border

Wow, is all I can say! For the border (it's a farm isn't it") Put a split rail fence around it somehow!...or, there are some great fabrics with farm prints, etc.

Really cute!! Neat animals!

Awesome job!!! What a beautiful idea. How about a piano key border using all your brights?

WOW, great job!

I LOVE IT!! How about plain borders with I Spy farm animals quilted all over them? :D:D:D

Very cute.

I love what you have done so far. Can't wait to see it finished :)

This sounds great! How about putting a tractor in the field, apples on the tree, deer in the woods? Is there a sun in the sky? (Hey not in Iowa today--got 6 inches of snow yuk!) A cute creative quilt!

I looked again--fish in the creek, a frog on the edge, how about a turtle, too?

Awwww.....that's so cute!!! :thumbup:

Does it even need a border? I think it would just look nice with binding...maybe in dark green or brown. Show us again when you have it finished! It is really cute!

a very good learning quilt especially if the baby will not have a chance to actually get to see these animals in person. I made one for my great nephew,and he just loves it. His mother wanted to hang it on the wall but he wouldn't hear of it.

I agree about the fence. What a sweet quilt!

This is so cute. What a great job you've done on it. How about a barn cat and a border collie sheep dog, a few flowers with a couple of pretty butterflies

What a great quilt! I love the skunk! Thanks for sharing :D

Cute!!!
