    This is what I have been working on. The pattern is Patience Corners by Marion Busby for Accuquilt. I made it with a rotary cutter. I haven't decided on a border, but would like your input as to how it should be quilted. Thanks

    I can't help you with the borders, but I really like the quilt. Love the colors and design.

    Maybe a red border, would make it pop. I FMQ almost all of my quilts.

    Great quilt and perfect corners. As for borders I really like the blue gray leaf color.

    After looking at this quilt I might suggest taking three dark colors from the quilt and cut them into the same size blocks as in the quilt and sew them into strips for the border like F-1, F-2,F3, F-1 F-2, F-3, etc. Just an Idea.

    Also I would first add a white border the same size as the sashing then add the finish border.peace :D

    Or! Take three blues, greens or browns from the quilt and do light , med, dark around the quilt. I think I like this better!
