Here is a picture of a block that I'm using for a centerpiece. I'm hung up on the border/backing. I like the simple white border, but I'm hesitant to have a white backing to match it. I'm not thrilled with the green border, but would prefer something other than white on the back. What do you all think?

I like the green borders. Backing could be anything but a nice floral would be cool.
|
I'm one who likes to mix solids and patterns, so I'd probably find a floral or a paisley with these colors in it and use that as the backing, and possibly as a border on the front as well.
|
I would do an all over floral with the pinks and greens in it. I just like florals!!
|
Why would you have to have white on the back? I would use that green for backing. I really like the white border. It makes the beautiful piece work stand out. Not that I think a green border would make it less beautiful...but it really can speak for itself. Maybe do a really thin green binding?

I love the green fabric. I used it in a baby quilt for my first DGGD. I wish I had bought more of it. I agree with the idea of a floral background in soft colors. You did a great job on your centerpiece.
|
When I look at your block, I see a border of soft lilac around it. It looks so "Spring" and I think a lavender/lilac edge would really make it sing!
|
Why does the backing have to match the border? Is it something like your purse has to match your shoes? BTW, LOVE the block, and I like the white sashing.
|
I think the thin green border would be perfect also!
Did you paper piece this? Lovely! |
I would do a backing that had pink & green in it.
