Batik Bargello - Check Out the Photo on Page 5 :-)
#1
Your opinions please? Do I add border(s) or leave as is?
My thought is to add a 4" inner border of the fabric shown on my cutting table. Then, use up the leftover strips to make a 2" wide, pieced outer border. Borders will make the quilt a bit bigger. It's 44" x 66" now. What do you think?
Thank you! I've been hemming and hawing over this too long. I need my wall back! LOL!

Possible border fabric. I used this fabric in the quilt, but it's hard to see it!

chele, what a georgeous wonderful quilt. you did a fantastic job. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
i am certainly no expert, but my first reaction is to say don't put any border on at all. the eye is drawn to the center naturally and a border might interrupt the flow.
just my opinion and it is worth exactly what you paid for it :wink:

I'd suggest a border as a "frame". It would set off the pattern. I also like your idea of using the scraps for a little pieced edge. The quilt is beautiful. You are the master of bright beautiful colors. I love 'em. Sara

I might put a 1" finished deep colour (reads black) as a 1st border & then that lovely border print as the final one. I think I'd save all those neat batik chunks for another scrappy project or something you could use them on as a piano key border.
