What size border?
 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]570532[/ATTACH]This is my quilt top, but I want to add another border of the teal green print.
Since the large white border was 3 1/2", the floral boarder was 6 1/2", should the next border be 9 1/2" .....or should it be another 6 1/2"?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry the picture is horizontal. I could not figure out how to turn it!!!

I think you will just have to lay it out trying both sizes, and take a pic, then compare them. It looks pretty and complete to me the way it is.

I want to make it bigger than lap sized, that's why I want to add another boarder.

That is pretty. i think i'd go w/ the 9 1/2.. you have the 3, then 6, and then 9.

If the 9 is too much, then you can cut it down. :D

I think I would do a border with blocks too. Sometimes when you just add more plain borders it distracts from the lovely center medallion and it seems to be easier to get wavey borders for some reason (at least in my experience!)

I agree with Tartan and quiltingshorttimer, you are going to be overwhelmed with borders. So a nice arrangement of blocks would be great.

Hey, 2 rows of blocks is a good idea. I might think about that. Actually I do a lot of embroidery. Maybe I can incorporate some blocks with embroidery.
Thanks for that idea.

I agree too....and
you will have lots of fun designing and making the blocks.

that is a great idea of adding a blocked border!

I love your quilt and fabric!

Have you thought about doing some pinwheels or alternating 9 patches for the next border. Sometimes, too many "just" 1 fabric borders begins to look a bit out of place. The piecing can be on each side of two corners, or the entire side of a border or 1 color on two attached sides and a different color on the other two sides. Just some ideas.....This Yahoo search shows a lot of options. https://images.search.yahoo.com/sear...lts&fr=yfp-t-s

edited to add: I see others had similar ideas. Your quilt is very pretty as it is but I do understand wanting a quilt in a size that can be used. I know you will pick something pretty.

The more the merrier! add more whatever your desire! well it will looks pretty!

I agree with those who are suggesting pieced blocks. Sometimes adding border after border is a very boring look, especially when you consider the size of the center.

If you don't want to pice a border, maybe use two fabrics, one for top and one side, and the other for bottom and other side.

When I right click on the picture and then click on "view image", it usually turns the image right side up. This time that did not work with the first picture, but did work with the "Attachment". I find it calming to see the picture right side up, although yours looks good either way.

This is a good idea. Sometimes too many wide borders leads to waviness of the border. Pieced blocks aren't as stretchy as a wide strip of fabric, thus make waviness less likely.
