Need borders?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have had these blocks and fabric squares for several years as a result of a block/fabric swap on another forum. Decided to put some of them together into another scrappy. Question is....does it need a border? If so, what color do you suggest? As it is, it measures 42" X 49". Big enough to use with a wheelchair or maybe for a child.

The right side of the quilt is not as dark as shown in the picture. The light in the ceiling tract shines more to the left of the design board.

I like it as it is

That's so pretty, AlvaStitcher! I think it's fine without a border, but I'd be inclined to experiment with some fabrics to see how a border or double border would look. Maybe something in purple for the main border. That purple solid three rows up from the bottom is a nice shade.

I vote for no border!

I rarely put borders on quilts anymore so if the size works for you, then go ahead and start quilting this quilt.

I like as it is too, but if you want a bigger quilt, looks like you have a lot of colors to choose from. Like the quilt.

I'm a border person so for me I'd say yes to a border plus a smaller sashing around the body in a light color and then maybe a black for the border to make all your colors pop. But that's just my idea as I'm a "Border" person.

I like it the way it is. Not really a border person.

I'd put a narrow black border to frame the block then a slightly wider border. No idea on colour.
