Wow, what a beautiful quilt! Good job! I think all the borders are great, but I am one that loves LOTS of color, lots of things going on, so I opt for the border with the little square flowers. They seem to pick up all the colors in the quilt nicely, and add so much fun to the quilt. Yes, I would use the multi-color border.

This would be my choice also. Love the fabrics in the quilt and I think the border print works well.

Your picture border is perfect with or without the inner border in my own humble opinion.

I would say a darker brown like the inside brown.

I like the solid brown .....

How about if you make a really thin orange "flippy" border and then use the brown print if you want to use the print?

I think this is going to be the one but i did order a better matching blue. I might do the blue in a flange style.

I, too, would go with the first one you showed, the print. I liked the one with the 1 or 2 inch or solid first, and then the print. It is a neat quilt, and I do like it.

This may not work at all, but what about trying a narrow orange border that would match the orange in the print, and then the printed border

LOL, OK, I am not always "in the box" as far as ideas go, but here is my thought. Why not get a permanent fabric marker in pink and color in some of the white squares in your print fabric. You can also do this with watered down acrylic paint, just heat set in the dryer or with your iron after it is dry. You want the paint thin enough not to leave clumps on the fabric, but not so thin it doesn't color it well. It won't take a lot of water.

I think you are adding an extra, busy element which detracts from the simplicity of the quilt. My suggestion is to make a geometric, striped border from any left over fabric that you have from the quilt. Even a piano key design would be better than bringing in the new element. You could even do miniature copies of the brown stripe, square pattern, all around the border of you quilt. Happy sewing!

To me, the print has the right colors but the wrong scale and it competes with the strong graphic design of the quilt. I think all it needs is a narrow dark brown solid border.

I like your last picture using the dark brown, blue & then the print fabric. The blue adds just 'enough' & looks very nice.

Exactly the thing I was thinking!

I LOVE the first option.
go for it!

nay, way too busy for me

I really like the print one. I don't think the orange vs. pink is an issue. Your quilt has a darkish yellow which "flows" into the orange in the border print. I also think the square flowers of the border print mirrors the squares & rectangles of the quilt.

(I only read p 1 & 2, sorry if I gave same answer as another poster, in which case, I agree... :D )

hmmm, I may have been off topic by now... this page, #6, seems to be on another subject now.

I would go with a solid border.

Sorry to say but I don't think it works. The style of the fabric is to different from the rest of the pretty quilt. It just looks mis matched. Audition the dark brown for your border. I think it will have a richer look and really go from "make do" to "WOW".
The quilt is very pretty. Keep the finish simple and the quilt will sing.
peace

After seeing a few of your choices, I like the addition of the solid pink or blue with the solid border. I would piece the (pink or blue) inner border to add a dark brown piece so the DR BR sashing ends at the DR BR border. It should continue through the (pink/ blue) border and connect with the outer border.

Again, I like the quilt very much.
peace

The print is great... it ties everything together and is interesting.

I really like the addition of the dark strip around the border. It gives the lines running to the edge a place to "land." I also think the print is good. I matches well with the quilt.

I like the way you have it in the first picture with your thread.

I think this will look good.

what is the name of the quilt pattern i would like to make it

I'd go with the little pink border, followed by the dark brown. Very nice!

It's called Hip to {not} be square and it's from a book called Living Large 2 by Heather Mulder Peterson.

Definitely like the print better! It highlights the movement in the rest of the design. Gorgeous quilt!

I think put a dark brown strip first, to frame it, then the border. it is a beautiful quilt...
