Are you asking if we like it without the brown border? just the piano keys around the outside? I think it would be beautiful both ways.

Are you going to put the same brown fabric on the bottom also? If so, I love it.
I agree. It would look great with the brown on the bottom too. |

I agree with everybody else add border to top and bottom , really pretty quilt I know your friend will love it!
|
Thanks again to everyone for your input..The top is ready so I can get on with the rest..You guys are the best..
|
Love it - with the brown border.
|
Gorgeous, just add brown to the bottom. You have a winner!
|
The centre is it Black? If so what about a finish with it.
|
Add the brown top and bottom too......it's already beautiful, but that will complete it!!
|
I agree with the majority.Brown on top and bottom to match sides. Beautiful quilt.

The way I would stabilize the piano keys would be to measure the middle of the quilt top (going across if I'm stabilizing the top/bottom of the quilt) and use that measurement for my bottom and top border. If you are really fussy you can also take additional measurements at the 1/4 points across and then average the three measurements and use that measurement for your top/bottom border. Then I would mark this border off at either the 1/4 or 1/8 points depending on the length. I would then do the same for the quilt and match the marks and ease in either the border or the quilt to fit and then sew it in place. You now should have a quilt that hangs nicely with no waves and the many seams of the piano keys are held in place by the border. When you use a pieced edge of a quilt as the final edge where you put on the binding it is very easy to get distortion and stretching when you put on your binding. If you have a border strip that is true this takes care of it when you put on your binding.

Should I do this quilt with the border or not or maybe an entirely different color? I have 12 days to finish this quilt as my friend will be retiring. Thanks

Great quilt. Just add brown boarder to bottom.
|
Brown border on all four sides would be beautiful.
|
Love the side borders. Do the same at top and bottom.
|
Igree with everyone; it is stunning! I wouldn't do a border. It looks great as is, and a border is just more time, and not really needed. She will love it!

I agree with everyone about adding the brown all around. It's Beautiful! Love the star one and the borders on that one too.
|
I agree with Auntie V
|
Both your quilts are beautiful. Agree with the addition of the brown on the top and bottom of the quilt in question. BrendaK
|
Love it with the border
|
Either way... it's up to you. I would have left the last skinny brown border off and used that fabric for the binding. The binding will "stabilize" the piano keys just fine.
|
Gorgeous quilt!!
|
Very pretty so far!
|
Agree with everyone else....brown border all the way around, use the same brown for the binding.
Lovely quilt!!! |
Love the brown border. It really frames the quilt.
