I would consider cutting the panels into a wide piano key border, then bind it with the black print! Very pretty!! :thumbup: :-D

Maybe a pink border on one, and yellow on the other so they can tell them apart? although I love them as they are

I think I would do 2 boarders on them but instead of being the same I would use like a white and red and on the other white and black or reverse the colors and use red then white on the second one. That way both will sort of fit in with the daisy pattern in the boarder you have on them now but still have a distinct difference.

I would use 2 different tone on tone borders with it rather than something busy since the 1st border is so busy(really nice, but busy. If you did one again, you might put the tone on tone borders before the busy one. My 2 cents worth. People are all so different in their likes and dislikes. They are really cute the way they are, but like you said, a little larger would be better.

Unless they are not big enough, I think they are fine. I would do a tone on tone black border around the outside if you need to make them larger.

Stumped!!!

I would do a pink border next and then the black and white poka dot border and maybe a pink binding. Just my two cents worth...I love the material you chose for the quilt top.

Andie :D :D :D

If you want two more borders I would use two solid colors from the panel.

They are adorable! I would strongly recommend (mother of twins speaking here)
that you label the quilts with their names on it. Even if you make them slightly different and even when they are young teens, they will fight over which one is whose!
LOL, my twins are 16 (boys) and just recently got into an argument about their quilts. I said "look at the label" and the one holding the quilt sheepishly said, "its not mine."
