I would leave it. I like the way you did this quilt. The small border picks up the colors in the t-shirt blocks.
|
Looks great to me!
|
I l ike the dark border. It allows the focus to be on the colorful shirts. I wouldn't change a thing!
|
Thanks everyone! Now I will start on quilt top #2 :)
|
I think its great.
|
I think you could leave as is and it would be fine. I personally like color so I would have added a narrow black border (2" finished) and then used a batik with shades of aqua or lime; or both ( whatever your color is in the shirts) for the outer wider border.

The fact that you question your choice tells me you may think it is too dark. It looks rather masculine. If it were for a younger person under the age of 30, I'd use a brighter, lighter color. If your niece is older she might like the darker more sofistacated look. The quit itself is quite nice but I'm not a fan of black/dark borders personally.

Looks good. The colors of the border add just the right amount to bring out the colors of the shirts.

I bought some batik for the narrow 1" inside border, but it doesn't show up like I had pictured. What do you think - should I take the borders off or just leave it as it is?

I would leave it, and either use the batik for the binding, or if you want to brighten it up, audition some brights! Really cute T-shirt quilt top, I like it!
