My first D9P - any ideas for the border?
#12
I like normally to have more than one border to reflect the main colors. Your choice i think for the first black was great and i would do a wider brown to match most of the quilt. It looks really nice, and your choice of colors is beautiful.

I like Amandagramma's suggestion of a narrow cream (probably a 1/2"-1" finished) and then a wider (perhaps a 5 1/2" finished) red/orange (the same color as in the blocks). Guess it really depends on how large you want the quilt. Do like your color/fabric selection for this quilt. D9P and/or D4P are on my "list of to-do's". Surely hope you'll post the finished quilt.

You've chosen my colours ... so easy for me to admire it!
It's a fun and easy pattern to do. Just keep a good sharp blade in your rotary cutter and keep slashing away! :)
I did one last year ... and can see doing it other times!
