Borders are on Cottage Romance

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Glad I bordered this quilt - think once it is quilted I am going to love it. Each corner has the same square but in different colors and different placement. Cannot get the whole thing in the picture.

Now, I need to get the layers together and quilt it. Thanks again.

Forgot to say I am going to try and do a scalloped border as was suggested. I think it would suit this top perfectly. Thanks to whoever (sorry don't remember name) suggested it.

looks great! borders enhance quilts like a matting & frame enhances a picture.

I'm glad you decided to add the borders, too! =) It definitely added that final touch. I can't wait to see it finished, AND with the scalloped edges!

I think it looks great with the borders. It's a very lovely quilt and I love the name of it. TY for sharing again after putting the borders on.

That's what my very 1st quilt teacher taught us... to think about it like a picture & to "frame" it accordingly. I love the way these borders turned out! Of course, I have a serious "thing" about this quilt anyway... pink & green? Shabby chic? That's right in my wheelhouse! This is gorgeous & I love, love, love it!!!

So, so beautiful...and a scallop border is perfect. What a lovely quilt - the colors and fabrics are beautiful.

Just as I thought - Beautiful. Can't wait to see that scalloped border!

I think scalloped borders would look great. It's beautiful.

Is there a pattern for this quilt? I like how you used some white squares - they would be perfect for some delicate embroidery. I have been looking for a pattern where I could just 'scatter' some redwork around the quilt. Your quilt is very pretty.

DebbieLynn 07-17-2012 02:23 PM

Oh yes!! Love it with the smaller green border and the larger floral.. So very Shabby Chic!!! Awesome job!!!

BizzieLizzie 07-17-2012 02:30 PM

Absolutely gorgeous looking quilt!! :thumbup:

The pattern is in the book Scrappy Quilts by Better Homes and Gardens.
Thanks everyone for looking and your kind comments.

I remember reading the suggestions that were offered and I agreed with the narrow green and wider floral and it looks wonderful! The idea about the scallops sounds very good, too.

Grace MooreLinker 07-18-2012 04:00 AM

omaluvs2quilt 07-18-2012 03:39 PM

Perfect! and I love the scalloped border idea. I haven't been brave enough yet, but something I definitely want to do...perfect for this quilt!
