thanks for the compliments. Just want to add that the "drop" will be around 13" on each side. so it makes it a little awkward to do.

No worries...just send it to me(LOL). It is stunning, absolutely stunning. What if you put a 2" dark purple border, and then a wider border the same colour as your background, add your gorgeous star(smaller version) to each corner in the wider border, add a 2" pink border and bind it in the lime green. Please show us your finished project...it will be stupendous whatever you decide.

I agree- I like that idea and I don't calculate too much on sizes. Just keep adding borders until it is the right size. Love your quilt, just saw the angels- so pretty!

I would suggest a 2 inch dark purple border....Then a 1.5 inch green......then I would create a border using some pointy things to refrence the top, maybe long skinny diamonds, finish with a green and then dark purple border.

Sorry not much help here with borders I'm like luckylindy just add inches till its the size I want Just had to say that you that your quilt will be beautiful whatever you do, its stunning.
|
Your quilt is beautiful. I think a 2" border of the dark color to start with would frame the quilt in a nice way. After that I am not sure.
|
I would also frame in the dark purple-then either use the print with squares in corners with the points or the background fabric with the points all the way around. I like the idea of following thru with the original pattern in borders!! Cant wait to see what you do with it!!! Its just gorgeous!!! Great Job
|
I would do a 2" border then I would add the green and purple star blocks in the next border and then add 2 more borders to fill it out to the size I need using all the colors in the quilt.Ending with purple or green.

It's OH SO LOVELY!!! I doubt you could mess it up whatever you do. Just like others have said - borders. I'd keep them solid colors as there is already a lot going on in the center. Love it!!

I always go bigger than what I plan to make sure it will cover the bed if I have enough fabric. If I don't, then I get creative and start piecing borders which is my least favorite way to do borders. Too much math--LOL!
