Our Grandaughter with her cat face on. Affectionately called Hurricane Hannah! [ATTACH=CONFIG]109698[/ATTACH] |
tough question...I do like quilts with borders, makes the quilts pop.
|
I like a border on a quilt. To me, it makes it more complete. Hurricane Hannah is precious.
|
I love that quilt!!!
I don't think it needs a border. It's splendid on it's own! :D Hannah is too cute!! :D |

I like borders most of the time as well.
|
My opinion is, is the quilt big enough as it is? I like borders myself, but there is no quilt police so you can do whatever you want.
|
I usually like borders, too, but this one would look fine without one!
|
I like borders on my quilts. They seem to frame them. It's up to you though. Your DGD is darling.
|
:thumbup: It is very pretty, colorful ... just like Hurricane Hannah - pretty & colorful and "full of it"! :lol:
I do think it needs a border, just to frame it and finish it off. |
Your Granddaughter is precious. I would put a border on. Any of the colors would be good.
|
I would add the border and your GD is adorable.
|
Sweetheart of a granddaughter.
I love borders, so what would please me would be a small light green to match & then wider in pink. Just my opinion. |
That's a tough one. Its pretty and colorful your DGD will love it. If you could find a cute print with some of those colors already in the quilt maybe.
|
It is a pretty quilt but I vote for a border!! And that grandaughter is a cute one with her kitty face!!!
|
I think it looks really modern without a border.
|
Lol Thanks ladies . The majority says border so border it will be.. Hurricane Hannah is precious but she sure lives up to her nickname... lol.. thanks all..
|
I cast my vote for the border. It frames it.
|
I don't think this quilt needs a border. If you do add one, be careful that it doesn't contrast so much as to draw your eye away from the quilt itself.
Too often your eye gets drawn to the border and you miss out on the quilt. Great colors in this one! |
Definitely use a border. It's like putting a picture in a frame - makes it easier to appreciate the picture, which, in this case, is a delightful quilt!
|
I think a border will just add to the quilt's beauty. Glad you decided to do a border. I love the fabric and colors you used.
|
I think a small border would be nice. Your GD is a cutie!
|
I think your quilt is ideal to go borderless! While some quilts call for a border, some look great without and I think this is one of them!
|
Beautiful. I like borders.
|
I think the quilt could go with or without a border. I might add a very little one inch border to frame the quilt from one of the colors in the quilt and then a larger border from one of the other colors in the quilt.

Whatever you decide, I love the quilt! :thumbup: :D |
Such a cute quilt for an even cuter girl. Border or no border, she's going to love it. Lots of memories will be made with that quilt.
|
I think borders really finish a quilt off nicely.
|
I think that a boarder usually tells the eye to stop. I vote one color border to make it look finished.
|
I think all quilts need at least one border, to frame the center, like a picture frame. Maybe a dark fabric.
|
I would leave it as is, as long as it is large enough. Don't want anything to distract from the main quilt. She is going to love t.
|
I would add 2 borders - a 2 inch inner border and a playful print outer border of 4 to 6 inches. It will pull all your colors together. Also, rick rack is very big now and I think your beautiful granddaughter might like a little rick rack on her quilt too.
|
I love those colors. I prefer borders on quilts but you are the designer so whatever you decide is the right choice.
|
I'm a picture framer and it's the same concept as putting a mat around a picture. I think, especially with a bright and somewhat-busy quilt, that a border gives the eye a place to rest before coming into the POP of the center.
|
She's such a cutie! Yes I would put a border on it, perhaps pick up the green in the quilt.
|
Darling quilt! I love the colors. I'd go the extra mile and add a border. :thumbup:
|
I think just the binding is needed. It would help frame it too. Dani
|
I would do a thin black border, then bind it with strips from all of the colours used in the quilt.
|
I vote for adding a border. Hannah is very cute! :)
