What about a 1" red border with the blue, then yellow binding.
If that is too much work, what about red border, then inset a 1/4" blue piping as you add the binding?
...I've seen that done somewhere, but could not find it on youtube. It might be an inset between 2 borders, or between quilt & border. Sorry, not sure.
I love your plaid!!! You did a lovely job lining it all up. (Your kiddo will never notice your intersections.) Your quilt is totally adorable. :thumbup: :)
I don't know how to do piping..? It sounds like it would look great, though...it will be another technique I need to learn...this is the 1st applique quilt I have done by machine...and I am self taught (with books, and computer info) on sashings, borders, bindings...as a matter of fact, I only knew how to do the fold over the backing type of binding until my last quilt group meeting...one of my gals there showed me hot to make a binding
:shock: ...thanks for all the suggestions! As I always say, this is a great group of people here on the board!!!
