border or no border
1 Attachment(s)
Another crumb quilt for charity.
I have enough of the wine colored fabric for a border but not sure if it needs it or something else. Anxious to finish it. Sometimes I have it borderless and do a pillow case finish. Then on to quilting with my embroidery machine with stars in different sizes. |

Sandwich, quilt and bind .... and it's done and gone! |
I think a wine border would finish it off nicely. Pretty charity top!
|
I always think they don't look "finished" until a border .... But see plenty without. If you want it done - go without. The advantage of with... It will finish off the extra wine fabric.
|
Maybe just a thin border of that color would work.
|
My usual decision maker on whether or not to add a border is based on size- is it an ok size or does it need to be a bit bigger. If I’m happy with the size i forego the border if I think I want it bigger- border it is.
|
I think a pink or wine border would be perfect.
|
What a great way to use up crumbs! I think you could go either way. I think a wide binding would be nice for 'borderless'. It would still frame it.
|
Since you asked - you have wine color fabric so I’d do the border. A little extra length & width never hurts a quilt. It’s very nice.
|
I'd vote for a border for this one.

I will use a wine colored border and then use a pillow case finish.
The I have to tackle the left over squares now. Almost there. Just have to finish a few more blocks. Always like to get another quilt from leftovers. |
i would do a border

I prefer borders when I have the right color.
Beautiful colors and think a border would finish it off nicely. |
