needing advice!
 

I am a learning beginner...not all that good with colours...tend to go with what I like and what is bright.....I put this to gether and now what do I do for boarders and what do I use for colour ??? with thanks...Patty

is that pink and chocolate brown ? I LOVE those colors together ! If it were me, I would do a pink border then bind with brown.

This is really pretty sew far. Love the pink and brown sashed in white. You have several factors to consider when adding borders. How much of these fabrics do you have left? Do you have other, coordinating fabrics? And, what size do you want your final product?
Honestly...I think you could just add white borders to size, bind with strips of the pink and brown. Would make a great modern quilt...

I have been using up my scraps and left overs and I do not have a scrap of those colours left ....they have been left overs for a few years now!!!!! Yes they are pink and choclate brown......I do have more of the white and just maybe enough to do a boarder....then could search for a matching brown and pink...if that will be possible LOL.....so grateful for the help one can recieve on this board....thank you

Try to imagine the color you would get if you mixed the pink and brown. That is the color I would use for the border.

thank you Cedar....I think a trip to Ben Franklins here in Helena is in order, see if my imagination is as good as it used to be ........would you do the binding the same colour as the boarder ?

i love it just the way it is... i would bind it in white or the pink.

If you're a beginner that is a beautiful quilt for anyone. Good job and my granddaughter would love those colors. Gives me an idea for another quilt.

I think you should always quilt with the colors you like. If I don't particularly like a color, I have a hard time finishing that project.

Thank you Nancy, I do have some white left over.The sashing was cut at 2 inchs.I usally cut my binding at 2 1/2 inches. Should I make the binding a bit smaller. Thank you for your help....Patty

I would do a pink one or two inch border, then a brown border (assuming those are the colors of the quilt). I like dark borders..they're a good frame.

You did a great job. I also like brights. I like it just as is, personally don't think it needs a border, but that's probably just me. Just remember that not every quilt needs to have a border.

Us Alikats must be related, as I was going to write the same thing. I love pieced bindings.

Lovely quilt. Since you don't have any of the original fabric left, I would just go find the closest tone-on-tone pink and brown fabric you can find and use one as a border and one for binding. I do think it needs at least a narrow border of 2" or a little more.

I just want to pop in to tell you that your top is great especially for a beginner, good job :thumbup:

Agree! I'd pick a pink and brown print that "reads" as a solid and create two borders. Then, use the brown as the binding. Beautiful quilt!

I really like your quilt! I also think all of these suggestions are good, I can't add a thing there. I just wanted to suggest that you might want to take the whole quilt top with you when you are looking for fabric. I do that often, and it makes things easier for me, as I don't "visualize" well.

Very pretty! It will be wonderful with whatever you decide to do. Love the colors!
