Need border help..
1 Attachment(s)
I made this top for one of my granddaughters but would like to make a unique border that is a little bit girly. I was thinking of this one from quilter's cache, but not sure it is really girly.

How about a pretty burgundy & rose-pink floral. Maybe a few appliqued flowers on the white?
|
I would think if you used girly fabrics you wouldn't need a border unless you needed it to get the size you need from the quilt. This is one border that you have to be very precise with your piecing. Good Luck.
|
that border would definitely go with the blocks but you said girlie and i thought of flowers. applique maybe. depends on what you like to do.
|
OOoh, scrappy!! I love this quilt, very nice. Great pattern for a scrappy quilt.
No ideas on the border...I like 'em borderless and would probably finish it just like it is in the pic! |
I love your quilt and the border would be perfectly. However, it does not say girly big time. Applique flowers would give it a girly look. Can you do both?
|
What about hexies? Would compliment the blocks. You could do each hexie (if you have enough) in a solid like a grandmother's flower then add some vine like connecting from one to the next or one each corner and then middle of each border
|
How about the one that uses the half hexagons? the you off set to make a curved or twisted pattern. I think someone posted a quilt with it and it was added to the QB Tutorial section under the title -The Tilde Border
|
I just came across some applique flowers in a free pattern that might be nice for use in a border: http://www.quiltviews.com/free-patte...altimore-style
