This top has been in the works for 11 years! LOL!!! It started when I took a class at a LQS, but was unable to finish. It got put away. When I recently got it back out, I realized that even though we had a pattern (was supposed to be a color wash design), that we weren't doing it by the pattern and it had become a bargello heart! I only had the bottom left half done, so was able to mirror the bottom right half. I then had to go on Excel and graph out the top half. Last night I was still "tweaking" the pattern.
Now I need some advise on the borders. The finished top is 97" x 72". Is it ok to just make the borders the same size on the top and sides to keep the oblong shape and turn it into a king size quilt? Also, what type of quilting should be done on a quilt like this - stippling on the middle, maybe feathered hearts on the borders? Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the board from Iowa. I do not see a picture so won't be of much help. It is fine to keep the borders the same all around to keep the shape you desire. Looking forward to seeing this.

It's okay to do whatever makes you happy! I have no quilting ideas but the quilt sure looks beautiful-upside down even!
What a minute-I thought it was upside down a minute ago! I must be cracking up :? |
Thanks. It should be there now - had problems getting it to upload right side up!!

Whatever you do...it is gorgeous!

Nothing to add but it's very pretty. Can't wait to see it done.

It's a beautiful quilt....you know borders are always a hard thing to decide on...but if it were me..I would choose a dark blue inner small borer and then choose one of the medium florals that you like for a bigger outer border.
as far as quilting..well that is always subjective as well....I think if it were mine I would do some feathers that follow the lines of the hearts ..and then do some fill in work around that...then I would finish it off with a feathered outer border. :thumbup: |
That is gorgeous

No suggestions, but a very pretty quilt.
