Auntie, you have a great eye! i don't think i'd ever have noticed that! what is this pattern called and is it one you sew individual squares? is there a tute? I am wondering how these are made
It,s just long strips of 2 1/2 inches and then sew them together . I liked sewing this one . Tom |
I must march to a different drummer. lol I would use the dark color for a very narrow strip and then a wider border of any of the colors in the quilt, but I am partial to the orange. Then I would bind it with the dark. Show us the finished product, please. The quilt is very nice, by the way.

I am with Susie. A narrow border and binding in the darkest with a lighter border in between. But I would not go too light
|
i would add the darker color; but watch out the quilting police are watching! (lol)
|
I'd add a thin border of the pinky-purple, then a wider border of the brown. Bind in brown also.
|
IMHO, no borders are needed. It looks great without the addition. Just bind it with the darkest color in the quilt.
if it were mine, I would start with the narrow dark color in the quilt, about 1" wide. Then I would use the pinkish fabric for a wider 2nd border. Bind it in the orange. Love the TATW pattern and this one is very nice. peace |
I would put a 1.5 " border around the entire quilt with the dark colour you have in the design. Then I would add a 3"-5" outer border using the lighter colours.
|
I agree with many who have already posted.... if you feel the need to add a border, I would do pink or (especially) orange and then apply a dark binding
|
I'm afraid we're not being much help. We're all over the place, but maybe someone is giving you a suggestion you really like. I would use the dark color as border, if you decide that you want one, and binding.

Tom its beautiful. you are doing wonderful. Congrats.
