First, you quilt is fantastic. How about three or four borders in the colors from the quilt. I don't think it would detract from the center and might look well framed.

How about making a picket fence with white and green (grass, you know) and make it look like a flower garden safely fenced in?
|
How about a wider green, yellow, blue, as you have and applique some one block wonders?
|
I LOVE how you made flowers with triangles!!
|
My question too is how would you add to this completed quilt????? It seems to me it would just not work, and might ruin a lovely quilt. If it were me, I would make another quilt for your bed-partner.......

You could do the plain border and than put some tumbling block on that boarder. One of the ONE Block Wonder blocks has the blocks in it. Beautiful quilt love the colors.

I think the green would work fine--even better if you could applique a few colorful flowers on the wide border. But even better IMO would be a piano keys border with strips of all the colors used in the quilt. You'd only need about 12" strips of ea sewn to make yardage. You could make the keys as wide as you liked. It would be boldly striking!

I'd like to add almost a foot all around but wonder if that's too much. more stripes would be awful. Suggestions? MaryKatherine |
This quilt is so beautiful and visually pleasing. I would leave this quilt alone and just make another one that was larger. I think that adding to it will take away from the symmetry. Personally, I don't think that any of the ideas given would do it justice. You do what you think you need to do but I think you will be disappointed although I hope not.
FYI, this is one of the prettiest quilts I have seen on this board and I have looked at lots of them. PPS I think maybe ube quilting's suggestion might be okay. Notice I said might :) |
