If it were mine I would fold a 1" gold/yellow strip in half and sew around the edges, then add a wider border in the same background fabric, or close in colour. Or you could add the border first then sew bias binding in gold - like a picture frame.
Hope that's not confusing.
Love your quilt, was it a kit?
Thank you for your ideas. I think once I audition fabrics that will help me decide.
No, I did not use a kit to make this art quilt. I took a workshop our guild sponsored taught by Amy Stewart Windsor called Playtime neighborhood. If you google her name you can view her link with lots of photos of art quilts. You use your imagination to design your scene. In the class I only cut out one house. I spent time drawing on paper what I wanted in my fabric playtime neighborhood. I did all the work at home after the class. My quilt has a quilt shop to the left, my house in the center, and a church on the right. I worked on the quilt in between other projects over a year.
Now to finish it and be done! Thanks again for your input.
