This quilt pattern is called "Blueberries & Key Lime Pie" by Klaudeen Hansen. It calls for just one border, the stripe. I don't think I'll like that so was thinking of a small black border first and then not sure. I don't have enough length of the stripe without adding something to it ( I should have cut the borders before cutting the strips around the center of the blocks). Any suggestions?

I think a narrow black border first, then choose a color that matches or blends well with the others. You can always use the stripe for binding if you don't want to use it for borders.

It's pretty!

Very pretty and I like the idea of a dark border to frame it and then maybe a piano key using your pinks and greens.

I would put a thin black border followed by one of the greens or pinks. Would not use the stripe again as I think it would be too busy.

I was thinking the same thing. The stripe sets it off nicely, but you could perhaps recreate that with a piano key border.

Nice quilt!

I would do the same...the quilt reminds me of watermelons. Very cute!

Maybe a narrow black border, the row of stripes (add cornerstones to make up for the length :wink:) and then black binding :D:D:D
