What should I do? I would like to add one more boarder. Should it be Red, green, navy, or should I go back to store & get more of the light blue?

This quilt is for my nephew that came 6wks early! So I'm trying to keep it simple so I can get it finished.

Please let me know what looks best.
tks

you might try this type of binding, as I just found the link today

to use 2 colors of binding!

Craftybear- I love this!! Thanks!

S.Adkins, I think any that you have will work just fine! I wouldn't buy a lighter blue, work with what you have :)

I think the dark blue would be fine. There is dark blue in the fussy cut blocks. Personally, I think the red is too much. You could bind it in red! It's a really really cute quilt!

Each border CAN be a different color, if you like, and will add even more bright colors to the quilt. Babies love the stimulation.
And you don't have to go get more fabric!

I like the dark blue the best, the red looks too much like
Christmas.

I like the dark blue and then use the red for the binding.
It will be adorable whatever you decide!

dark blue here

sandpat 10-05-2010 07:10 PM

I think the red brings it to life. Cute quilt! And congrats to your family on the baby!

A narrow border of the dark blue and a wider one of the red :D:D:D
Love your quilt!

gramqlts 10-05-2010 08:32 PM

I agree with the dark blue sashing and red for binding.

earthwalker 10-05-2010 08:56 PM

I like the idea of dark blue with red binding.

kristen0112 10-05-2010 09:07 PM

I would go with the red its a contrast complimentary color to the green. Congratulations on the new nephew.

C.Cal Quilt Girl 10-05-2010 10:28 PM

Blue here, Cute Quilt !!

Kitsapquilter 10-05-2010 10:35 PM

I totally agree with RatherBQuilting. The blue for another border and maybe red for binding. Or use the green again for binding. It is a very cute quilt.

What an interesting binding. I'd like to try this too.

I would do a very thin red border, a wider dark blue border then bind with red!! Whatever you decide it will look great! Congratulations on your new nephew!! I did a similar baby quilt and did the thin red border like a loose flap ie. 1" folded and stitched down at the same time as the wider border. It just frames the main quilt like a picture. Hope this makes sense!!!

I like this idea....different color on each side...including yellow. Nice and bright and colorful!

My thoughts exactly.

quiltsRfun 10-06-2010 03:47 AM

I like the dark blue.

bobolee 10-06-2010 03:54 AM

I like the red better. The dark blue seems to clash with the lighter blue.

Mona Lisa 10-06-2010 08:33 AM

I like the blue

auntmag 10-06-2010 09:02 AM

I agree.
