Grandson's quilt top done - needs borders
#12
Thanks for all the suggestions. I am more confused more han ever!! Zyx, is there a tute on the flange idea? Not sure I understand what you mean. And yes, the quilt is red/black (not blue) and white with some gray in the one block. Not sure is David would like the idea of yellow - will have to ask him. He is 14.
I googled flange and understand what you mean now and I like that idea - just not sure what color to use.
But keep the ideas coming - I need all the help I can get!!

Hi beachlady I would use a narrow yellow gold or something to contrast for a narrow border and zinger cut one and half or two inches at most then decide on outer border maybe dots or stripes just my idea anice quilt show again when you decide

White might be ok for an inner border, but then what? maybe an outer border of the pieced squares? That would be pretty busy...
Im not sure it even needs a border.
I think that I would just bind it with the black polka dots.
Anything else would detract from the wonderful geometric movement of this quilt.
