I really really like the border, it really looks nice with this quilt, which is beautiful BTW.
I would use a burgandy (?) border, like the one you have in your quilt. |
cool idea and have fun!
|
Your pieced border is to die for. I would surround it with either that burgendy fabric or a dark brown fabric so the inner border really pops. That is one beautiful quilt :thumbup:
|
This is soooo STUNNING. The border idea is perfect for it Last one brown
|
Very nice; the additions to the border outline gives the quilt top a richness that accents the inner blocks.
|
I like the pieced border you have, but think it would need to have a solid border to finish it off. BTW, it is a beautiful quilt. I love it.
|
That is a beautiful quilt and your border is awesome. I want to do that on one of mine now. Great job.
|
Very nice
|
try getting that gold into the borders. do dark brown (like
you already have) strip of equal or 1/4" smaller of the gold, the pieced border.--then another strip of the gold, then another dark brown. bind in dark brown or gold. a beautiful quilt top ! |

|

|
Gorgeous!
|
Love that pieced border; it is perfect for that lovely quilt.
|
Beautiful and I love the colors. Thanks for sharing.
|
Oh my yes, Definitly the boarder. Beautiful quilt
|
beautiful. I can never get pieced borders to come out even.
|
Your quilt is a knockout - jaw dropper. I really like the pieced border. I think it really sets it off. Wonderful design and your work is fabulous.
|
Fran, I LOVE your border!!! It makes it look so elegant!! Keep up the good work! :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
YOUR QUILT IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THE COLORES I TOO THINK A DARK OUTER BORDER
|
I can only repeat what everyone else said. Awesome.
|
That is going to be beautiful!! I would repeat the narrow borders you have before the pieced border...the brown and then the maroon....Can't wait to see it finished!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Ditter |
I think you should enter it in a contest - It's stunning!
|
all I can say is wow!beautiful quilt great idea!
|
I LOVE It and agree - it adds to the quilt! What BOM is it?? Beautiful work!

Gorgeous quilt - love the binding
|
Ya, I get your drift. I suspect you think it is for a guy? Well I love the richness of the colors so I just might have to keep this one.
Okay its official I am in love with your quilt, I want to be "Mr. That Quilt"!!!! I love the colors and especially love the border!!!! I can not wait to see the end product! Billy[/quote] |
WOW!WOW! what else could top that pieced border. I think I would just put a very narrow binding, probably in the light color, so as not to distract from that beautiful border. Lovely lovely quilt too. The border will certainly make that quilt POP!!
|
I can't remember the name of the BOM--it was from a private group. It was pretty intense. I quilted another one just like this BOM in blues for $$. I can post a pic of that sometime if anyone is interested.

This seens to be the concensus--another solid border to end with and maybe the binding the same too. If I used a light binding not sure I would like that but I will audition it.

I am using the gold for another project so will not be using that in any more of the borders. Unless I change the other project. HA But an idea I might try--thanks.

I did the math and hopefully I can pull it off.

Perhaps another pieced border, just reverse the colors, might be a liffle much but you could have a sold border between the two.
|
Yes I have to admit the blocks go so well together--one of them had over 90 pieces in it.

This border is called "beads" or something like that. I realized when trimming it that it is or like Seminole border. I have put Seminole borders on towels to fancy them up.

Sure you can copy it. I got it from a book anyway that I purchased and after I was into it realized it was the Seminole border. I wanted to learn how to do the math to make the border come out correctly. I hope I have achieved this--not completed yet.

Love this..lots of details & work on this. Maybe end this with a tiny stips of the lighter brown that you have?
|
Repeat with the border just to the inside of the pieced border and bind with the same fabric as the 2nd (reddish) border. Beautiful work. Love the pieced border.
