I wanted to do a pieced border and use up all so no scraps.Yipee I did it but what do I do in the corners so I break up the rust color
was thinking this pp with the green and rust or too busy?

I think that pattern might be too busy, and not in keeping with the piecing pattern in the rest of the quilt. I would just go with a 4 patch (the green from the stop border and the rust) or a sawtooth star.

erstan947 02-20-2014 07:13 AM

I think I would go with a simpler block. 4 patch, 9 patch, pinwheels, bear paw etc. Love the colors and pattern you have chosen.

mawluv 02-20-2014 07:38 AM

Yes, I was thinking the same, maybe a 4 or 9 patch.

grma33 02-20-2014 07:57 AM

I think a 4 patch it will be! although they won`t be sqas need and odd mesaurent. Will have to pay with it.
Thanks Gale

I would just continue the pattern you used in the border.

If you don't like that idea ... how about a square in a square?

Jingle 02-20-2014 09:25 AM

I would just put a square of the blue print that was used in the quilt center.

dunster 02-20-2014 09:51 AM

I agree, something with simple lines and not small pieces. It's going to be a beautiful quilt.

This is also what I thought, a 4 patch would work. That flower is just too busy and small for the quilt.

mawluv 02-20-2014 01:17 PM

Yep, that 4 patch is prefect!!!

alikat110 02-20-2014 05:46 PM

Very cute. I was thinking why not do the paperpiece pattern....but this is fantastic!

ILoveToQuilt 02-20-2014 06:54 PM

Perfect! Love the 4 patch corners.

If you have some left, put some of the green inner border in the corners.

It's a cute quilt, by the way!

Dina 02-20-2014 08:04 PM

It looks great! You chose wisely!!

Nice job. Thanks for posting the final decision.

youngduncan 02-21-2014 06:11 AM

Your final decision is exactly what the quilt needed! The four-patches make the corners come alive, and they point to the center, sort of like Vanna points to the vowels.

maviskw 02-21-2014 06:55 AM

The four patch corners look like a really good idea, but I would make them with with blue print, NOT the green. Having the green in those 4-patches draws the eye away from the entire quilt to rest on them.

I also like the idea of a square in a square, but keep it in the border colors already established. No green.

nativetexan 02-21-2014 07:00 AM

if you need it softer, perhaps a drunkard's path block would work.

Gail B 02-21-2014 07:03 AM

The 4 patch is perfect for your quilt. Good job!

QuiltNama 02-21-2014 07:08 AM

It's perfect and not too busy

linda8450 02-21-2014 07:25 AM

Did you happen to notice the left border at the top has a section that is upside down? On purpose? There are two small squares close together and it looks as if it was flipped when you sewed it on. Lovely quilt (and if it is too late to change it, then it was creative!).

roserips 02-21-2014 08:41 AM

Perfect I love the 4-patch corners works great with the border and brings the green out at the same time moving the eye in.

MargeD 02-21-2014 10:55 AM

I think a 4-patch block would be the perfect solution, and would go great with that border.

I noticed this too Linda8450..........she would just have to take it out and flip it around shouldn't be hard to do

kathyquilts40 02-22-2014 06:34 AM

You did what it needed exactly right! Good Job!

Looks like you figured it out. Looks good!

Windblown 02-22-2014 10:19 AM

It turned out great! I love the green in the corners.

I, too, like the 4-patch suggestion with the green and rust.

calla 02-23-2014 09:27 AM

Your selection is perfect.

GrammaNan 02-23-2014 04:21 PM

What you did looks very nice. I am glad you included the green.
