Your quilt is so cute and the designer has a wonderful personality as expressed in her patterns. I love her designs. Thanks for sharing.

This is so beautiful, I like it just the way it is. I would love to know the pattern name also as someone else asked. It looks difficult, is it appliqued? Thanks for sharing such an uplifting quilt with us.

OMG I love your quilt. I am going to make several inches of piano border and see how it looks. Problem is I started this quilt 3 years ago and just got around to finishing (my New Year resolution) so not sure I still have all the fabrics except the blues, but going to dig into the pile and see.

Is your quilt from a pattern?

You don't need to use the same exact fabrics. Just get similar colors and it will blend nicely! Mine is from a pattern. It's called Beach Cottages, and here is a link to the pattern. http://www.etsy.com/listing/61987488...lt-pattern-pdf

I love borders but I would leave it alone. There is so much going on in the quilt and you don't want to detract from that.

I think I saw this quilt featured in a magazine at one time?????

sooo cute. I like a wider border, but that is me.

It can either stand alone or add a border. Very nice top!!
