I added two borders to my two lap quilts of the B&Y blocks. I was thinking to add a 3" yellow border next. I would like opinions please...

A) Should I add the yellow border??

B) Should I leave it as is, quilt it and use yellow for the binding?

Thanks for any assistance and or comments.

Kyia :D

How big do you need them to be? My preference would be to leave as is, quilt it and use yellow binding. Yellow is a pretty strong color. If you need it to be bigger, you can add a yellow border, I would, personally, add something that reads more blue if I had the fabrics.

Looks wonderful!!!

Thank you for the comments.

I don't need them to be bigger. I am using them as lap quilts and gifting them to my granmothers.

I don't have enough blue to ad another border. I can either use the dar blue that is ther first border or the yellow for bindings.

I am still looking forward to any suggestions.

I would add one more border...sometimes that extra bit makes the quilt more cozy to use for the lap. Can you mix the blue/yellow, rather than pure yellow? They are really pretty!!

What would you sugest? I have a little of the blues left but not enough for a solid border by itself.

Great job. Blue and yellow are my favorites. Eleanor Burns has really pretty blue and yellows.
