Do I need another border?
1 Attachment(s)
I am not sure if this quilt needs an outer border. What are your opinions?[ATTACH=CONFIG]440864[/ATTACH]

Depending on how big you want the quilt to be...personally and this is just my preference of course. I would have put a 1 1/2" or 2" border of one of the colors in the quilt and then the wider outside border and then bind it with the inner border color but that is what I would do...and BTW I love love this quilt...Looks like a lot of work.....
|
Oh...a nice pick border would look so pretty...love your quilt!
|
I love Hello Kitty! Your top is adorable! I might lay one of the brights from the quilt alongside the white border to audition it.
|
I would try putting a wide border maybe 2" of the brighter pink color to see if it looks right, if not maybe a bright purple
|
i would only add another border if the size is not large enough as it is.
|
Short answer - yes. Longer answer - it looks unfinished to me the way it is. Just my opinion though. I love what you've done so far. Is that applique?
|
I would put another border in a bright color. The white makes it very pale IMHO. Very nice quilt by the way. I do love the soft colors you have used.

It's adorable! Maybe would've used the white as trim all around connecting the sashing and then the beige/tan border. But I think it's cute as is. Just depends on how big you want it.

I agree with Btiny36. But it is best to audition to be able to find the perfect border. You have done a very lovely job with piecing this quilt. |
I also agree with Btiny!
|
Awe..... that's so cute! I would do another border, and I'd probably use that pretty green in the upper corner or the cute check, only because everything goes with green.
|
I think I'd put another one if I were you. Maybe a hot pink. Our quilt is so cute!! Great job!
|
actually (since you asked) I would replace the white border with 2-3" pink plolkadot border. White is too pale and make the quilt look washed out!!!! Cute quilt !!!!!
|
What I would do is add a bright binding color if you think it just needs a little more pop.

I would add either the yellow or the red fabric for a border to make the whole quilt "pop". It is very sweet.
|
I think I would add another in a brighter color, if it will not make it to large. Really cute quilt!
|
Do what you like. It's nice as is. Love your appliqué. Is it hand appliquéd?
|
Yes you do
|
Personally, I'd add another border. The quilt is absolutely darling!
|
yup, needs another boarder to showcase it. Love the quilt though, nice job so far.
|
If you need another border for size, I would use purple. Cute quilt!
|
If you want just a little something to frame it up, try making the binding a bit darker than the border that you have. I have done that a few times and it always makes a difference.

Would love to see a bright pink border to frame the quilt. Love hello kitty. You did a great job!
|
Need to bring 2 of the brighter colors to the outside edges like the Pink and then bind with Green even the lighter Green would look OK... its really nice...
|
pattern please have new grandaughter and would love to do this thank you in advance!If you can my e-mail is [email protected]
|
This is an adorable quilt! Love the applique. It needs a frame/another border. The dark pink would be cute.
|
My granddaughter would love that quilt. A darker pink would be very nice as an outter boarder. But after studying for awhile what about blue, green or red? Yellow Would be to soft. Just mho. You can not go wrong with whatever you want to do
|
Adorable quilt!! I would make the border you have on there now narrower and then add a 3-4" border of one of the bright fabrics.
|
I would add another border (or two)....If you have the time and fabric, I would add a very narrow border of either the black, red, or dark purple, and then a wider (3" finished or so) border of one of the lighter colors (like the light green or yellow)......It is fine the way it is.......I just happen to like multiple borders on quilts.......
|
Your quilt is precious, and will be even more so with a colored border, or possibly some applique from colored fabric on the wide borders you already have.
|
Frame it with a darker color, the red or blue.
|
Your Hello Kitty Is spectacular!! It's just what I need for MY sweet 5 yr old DGD. Love it....
|
Some little girl is going to be very happy. I would put another bright border around it.
|
I agree with btiny36, a color border would add more than size to it.
|
Beautiful quilt and yes I would but another boarder on.
|
I would like to see a final border darker than the pink to frame the quilt. It may end up on a wall and would be great with a frame. A frame any way in my opinion.
|
I agree the white makes it pale. I would add the green. You could add a narrow bright pink and then a larger lime green .
