For me a border to a quilt is like a frame to a picture. So yes I would border it.

Gina, that's so pretty!

Artistic works deserve frames; quilts deserve borders. Just my opinion, of course, but a border will allow the eye to focus on the beauty of the quilt blocks. What about a lighter border with a darker binding? You could pick up on the colors you've used. This is a spectacular quilt!

Is this done by the squares? What is the pattern? Beautiful. Vi

Thank you, for the complements and suggestions. I will post another picture when I have the top sewn together. I don't have much floor space to show it entirely. The pattern is Metro Rings by Sew kind of wonderful. Its about as close to a double wedding ring as I am going to get. Ha ha!
I had considered the darker blue for a binding, but it might be a good border. Thanks! Gina |
It depends if you want to stay traditional or not necessarily. Adding borders will take away from the curved edges a traditional Double Wedding Ring quilt has. But as with ALL rules, your quilt, your rules!!

What a coincidence! I am almost at the same spot as you are with my Metro Rings quilt, and I was also contemplating whether to border or not. It is the squares on the sides (or half squares) that concern me.

Your quilt is going to be beautiful. Personally I like borders although I have seen many quilts lately without borders that are very pretty too. Just depends on your personal taste. Good luck! Lots of good ideas here.

You go girl. It is awesome. I say it needs border but, then I thnk every quilt needs a borser.

HI it's very nice. As for borders what about the red triangle fabric ? I just started one of these too. What were your thoughts working through the process? Diana
