Border or no border
1 Attachment(s)
The original pattern doesn't call for a border, and I love the fabric and design, but I'm wondering if a smaller inner cream border with a black border would give the eye a place to rest.

Such a beautiful top! I'd try a small border but also try a 4" border strip just to see since the blocks are large. Please post when you decide!
|
Lovely top! I think cream then black patterned border would frame it nicely.

Great design in that pattern.
I particularly like how the eye sees different secondary patterns, dependent on how one looks at it. You have it nicely placed on a design wall. Try auditioning your different possibilities, as to colour and widths. My first thought was a pop of bright colour for the inner border and the backing. Most any colour would be possible. Then a TOT black outer border and binding. That is, unless you want a totally neutral colouring to the finished quilt. |
Love it just as is... my eye doesn't need a place to rest.

It really depends on what you like and want! ... also whether you want a larger finished quilt? If so, that could also be accomplished by adding more of the same blocks. |
I just found my block mistake and fixed it, this is why I always take a picture of my quilts so I can look at them later to see if I made any errors......top right block I still now fixed.

I would say no, don't do it. I love the secondary pattern occurring when you are not focusing on it as one block at a time. See in the area where they all come together? But, that is my opinion, really. It is designer's choice.
|
I'd go with the border you mentioned. Love the quilt!
|
That's a fantastic quilt as it is! I'd be tempted to just go ahead and bind it.
