    I would use a border of the pokadot the same width as the one there now and then add a border of the black and bind it in red. Its a beautiful quilt. thanks for sharing.

    I finished putting the borders on! I had bought the red fabric for the back but I am starting to think that I should use the green with the lady bugs. What do you think?

    I'd put a border about an inch wider than the braid using that polka dot fabric. Then use the red binding.
    I think it's really cute!

    I agree with this idea!!

    I would use a narrow strip of the red and then a border made out of the black fabric with the ladybugs same as the sashing.

    I don't think it looks dark at all because of the contrasts. I would put a black border and bind in red. Love the braided border.

    How did you do the braided borders? Do you mind sharing the size you cut the pieces? Thanks, in advance!

    I agree totally. I love using the braided borders but for stability always add another wider border as the borders get a lot of tugging and pulling and the braid may or may not tolerate it. Hopefully you have enough fabric to do the above as it's a beautiful quilt. You've done a great job on it as is.
