Suggestions for borders, please

Hi,
We are trying to finish up lap quilts for our almost-9 yr old twin nieces and would appreciate any suggestions. I will try to attach a photo, but my apologies if it doesn't work. :) The blocks are 12" and I was thinking of a 1' inner border and a 6" outer border. I have no idea what color to use for the inner border. I haven't liked anything I've tried next to it and have no objectivity left. Light? solid? print? Thanks in advance for your input and for looking. |
What is the outer border going to be made from? Is it the white that it's sitting on now? If so I'd use a darker version of either the purple or the pink.
|
Dark, either solid or stripe, if you can find a stripe in similar colors.
|
I would try for a dark purple solid or tone-on-tone.
|
Purple 1 1/2 border then a larger boder of the peace sign fabric if you have it. Cute quilt tops!
|
I agree with dark purple as well. I think if you go with a light inner border it will just disappear. If you don't have a solid, I would probably try for something with a small print that 'reads' solid.
|
how about a pieced outer borders with your inner/top fabrics?
|
I'm the odd ball here. I'd use a black w white for the stopper border. Then go back to one of the pinks. I know it sounds crazy, but it's amazing how all the other prints come to life when you add a piece of the unusual to it.
|
I like Tartan's idea....I would love that striped fabric as the inner border. And would love the peace sign for the outer border.
|
I see green in there. perhaps a thin inner border of the green would work. then what ever color you prefer.
