I'm not in love with these blue border fabrics on this scrap quilt. What do you think?

I think there isn't enough blue in your scraps to carry off the blue borders. I might use the darkest background color in the border. It looks black to me on my monitor. I see more red and yellow in the scraps. Maybe a red or yellow inner border with a black outer border.

I agree with loisf, except she explained it better than I could have! I'd like to see a deep red inner border and some kind of black print outer border (especially if it is the same black print in the triangles).

I agree with loisf. The blues just don't work for me.

Do you have enough of the blue that is in the triangles? I think I would do the thin strip in the cream background fabric and that triangle blue? The border is nice but it isn't singing to me. Maybe the cream and then a 4 patch scrap border?

I agree with Lois. There isn't much blue in your blocks, so the border doesn't really flow. I'm seeing lots of brown, olive, and yellow. I would try some combo of those, possibly with a thin white or grey "stop" border.

I like the idea of the really dark pebbly pattern for a border....or maybe yellow I see quit a bit of yellow in your blocks

I think it would be great without a border or a thin dark border to frame the scrappies. You did a great job on this quilt in placing colors!

Love the scrappy look. I too think the blues just don't carry well. I like the idea of the pebbly blue on the outer and then a thinner red or yellow for the inner border. You could even go with the light as a thin inner border to pull it together and frame it.

I'm out of the cream fabric that was used in the half-square triangles. I may have enough of the blue/black (4/5) fabric that is in the other part of the half-square triangles. What do you think of the two border possibilities in these pictures?
