So here is the pcs of my son's quilt for his graduation. I need all of your wonderful people to think with me what is the best scenario for a border. Just plain green and black or braid (will that be too much?). There was too much green for my eyes to work with and i can't wait to be over with this but my dear son loves these colors :) and i want it to be perfect and i don't care if it is gonna take me long time to finish.
Thank you all for your usual help and support. Faten Sorry the first one was tilted [ATTACH=CONFIG]152592[/ATTACH] |
Plain green and black, I think. Interesting that your eyes have trouble with all that green: I get that effect with reds. Sometimes I've been embroidering with red thread (by hand) and the thread seemed to shimmer.
Stunning top! |
Thank you. When you say plain black and green what do you suggest?

Maybe a narrow green border followed by a wider black?

I would say a thin border in either green/black and a wider border in whichover of those you don't use for the thin border (personally I'd do thin black border, wider green border, and black binding). But I'm still a beginner, but there's my 2 cents for what they're worth :)
The quilt looks great! |
I think a small black inner border - then a wider white border and bind in green. Great looking quilt, good job.

I just do a nice good sized black border to pop everything.

I love the color green, but, I am seeing too much green as it is so bright. I would use a narrow black border.
