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

Think it,s called around the world.
It,s just long strips of 2 1/2 inches and then sew them together . I liked sewing this one .

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.
