quilt bobo or not?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I made this quilt for a friend and after I had it quilted I seen that I should have put a white border first. Then the colored borders ...With the colored border hitting on the top edge of the bed to me it looks like it does not fit the bed, what do you think... I need to send a quilt to my friend for her wedding and hate to have to make another one..so I really need your thought on this..

I think it's beautiful!

Judith1005 04-10-2013 03:26 PM

I love it. I think it's gorgeous. (It's my favorite color.) And, I really like how the blue border frames the lovely center.

mucky 04-10-2013 03:29 PM

I think it is just fine as the color frames the bed.

Looks great to me!!!

faykilgore 04-10-2013 03:38 PM

The blue forms a lovely border.

MartiMorga 04-10-2013 03:42 PM

I agree, I think the blue really frames it and makes it stand out nicely. Really it is lovely.

very nice quilt

QuiltnNan 04-10-2013 03:57 PM

i think it looks fine... nice job.

QandE2010 04-10-2013 04:15 PM

I think you should leave it the way it is. I agree that the blue frames this beautiful quilt.

:thumbup:It's lovely the way it is.

We all do the second guessing ourselves. your quilt looks wonderful. Don't fret, it will be fine and appreciated. make a couple of throw pillows to go with it and they can be tossed/thrown in front of the bed pillows. solved!!

I agree. Very pretty quilt.

I actually like seeing the entire quilt on top of the bed like this! It looks natural with no boo boo in sight. Excellent quilt!

I like the blue framing the top of the bed - it keeps the eye on the quilt. You did a nice job.

barny 04-10-2013 06:11 PM

Don't fret another minute. It is beautiful just the way it is. The blue on the sides frames the design perfectlly.

amyjo 04-10-2013 06:28 PM

That looks great just the way it is. It frames the center perfectly.

Cookie46 04-10-2013 06:42 PM

It is a great quilt. You should be proud. Lovely work!

dcquilter 04-10-2013 06:56 PM

I agree - it is beautiful!

Marilynsue 04-10-2013 07:28 PM

I wouldn't change a thing! Send it on to your friend, she'll love you for it.

josie bass 04-10-2013 07:31 PM

I think it fits just fine and it is beautiful.

debcavan 04-10-2013 07:34 PM

Or there is a blue border on the top of the bed. The colors are just gorgeous.

Baloonatic 04-10-2013 07:34 PM

A white first border would have made the chain squares look like they were unattached and just floating. Nope, you've done good using the blue border!

Nanny's dollface 04-10-2013 07:38 PM

I love it...the first thought I had when I saw the blue is how nice it made the design pop!

earthwalker 04-10-2013 07:53 PM

Perfect just as it is. Beautiful.

Chris Anders 04-10-2013 07:55 PM

Yes the blue frames the bed and it looks gorgeous! Fantastic gift and they will love it!

quiltlady1941 04-10-2013 08:51 PM

Thank you everyone for your kind words on my quilt, I guess we all look at our quilts and wish we would have done something different.. when I got it back from the quilter and put it on the bed it just looked off..but after hearing from all of you that it looks fine it got better each time I looked at it...

It will be sent off to Tenn in the morning to my friend, thanks again for your help on this quilt..

mighty 04-10-2013 08:53 PM

I think it is beautiful just the way it is!!!!!

patsynel 04-10-2013 11:24 PM

The quilt looks great. Your friend will love it.

Gladys 04-10-2013 11:26 PM

I think it is perfect and like it better this way!

dove 04-11-2013 03:27 AM

looks beautiful....I would definitely send it...I am confident she will love it!

orangeroom 04-11-2013 03:40 AM

I think it looks beautiful and anyone would love to have it on their bed!!!

jetayre 04-11-2013 03:50 AM

It's perfect!!!

nygal 04-11-2013 04:44 AM

I agree with everyone else. It looks beautiful. When you give it as a gift do NOT bring up what you "think" is wrong with it!! They will love it.:thumbup:

gabeway 04-11-2013 05:12 AM

I think it nicely frames the quilt top and works as it is.

sue.ross.8782 04-11-2013 05:25 AM

I love it! It brings a pop of lively color to a white room. Is this the room where you will put the quilt?

bunniequilter 04-11-2013 05:29 AM

Looks just fine the way it is.

Mariposa 04-11-2013 05:33 AM

Pretty quilt! The border is a nice frame for all the squares.

darlenedowns 04-11-2013 06:19 AM

I believe that if you had put on a white border you would have not liked it at all. Trust this board, you have done a beautiful job. Your new bride will love it!!!!!

Blinkokr 04-11-2013 06:32 AM

I think it is just beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
