    Lightbulb HST - Border or not?
    Hi All
    I Finally got my Scrappy HST top assembled. It is about 44 x 54.
    I intend it to be a lap robe. But need some advice on Borders.

    1. No border
    2. Single lite border
    3. Single dark border
    4. Double lite (narrow inner) / dark border (wider outer)
    Thanks.
    Mike

    well, it doesn't scream for a border. but if you want one, you could add one the size of your hst's. looks great as is too!!

    I'm the opposite of Gale. I almost always like a border. So now it seems you can do whatever you like. If it were mine, I'd make a thin dark inner border and wider light outer border.

    I am also in the border camp. I think it needs dark to frame the quilt.

    It's great. I would go with a light inner border, and a darker one on the outside.

    I vote for a border -- I would probably do a light inner border (narrow) and a wider, dark outer border. Love the look of the HST's

    It doesn't need one but a light inner/dark outer border would frame the luscious HSTs.
