Dina, do you need a border??? If so, use black. You don't want anything distracting from your lovely piecing.

This quilt is STUNNING! I love love the colors and the pattern! Everything. I unfortunately don't have any advice just compliments! LOL. Whatever you decide will be perfect I'm sure. Please make sure to post finished pics for us!

I'm with DogHouseMom, a narrow black border to set the background and then a colored background. I like the neon blue as well for the outer border but one of the purples would also work. I wouldn't use the green myself as there is so little of it in the piece. But as others have said, audition a number of options and pick the one that works best for you.

That is an amazing quilt, your colour choice is superb. If it were mine I would put a black border and nothing else.

It's gorgeous! I'm sure whatever you decide will be perfect. No help here..you're doing fine all by yourself!

I'll add one more 'It's beautiful!" to this post.

The pattern suggests a small inner green border and a black outer border. I was planning on having a light blue inner border and a deep purple outer border, but the more I get into this pattern, I think maybe I should have the outer border black. I think it might make the black background just look "more right." Now, I know that I won't be able to really tell until I have the center of this finished, but that is probably a week away, and I have to think about something as I sew...so my question is, which way would you lean....outer black border or outer deep purple border. I may need to go buy more black if that is the way I go... Thanks for any input. Dina Bobbie |
Dina and Bobbie, those are beautiful! I hope to some day try this pattern. I really like the quieter color for the inner border as it compliments the pattern. The black border is totally necessary for the outer border. I love the neon blue but I would not choose it for a border as I think it might distract from this wonderful quilt. JMHO

Beautiful quilt. I would go with a black border just to frame that gorgeous quilt, with maybe a narrow deep purple border, then the black.
