Just finished the top yesterday. Now I need ideas for the border. Since it's so busy I believe a tone on tone would be better but I'm not sure about what colors to use. I'm thinking maybe a beige with red or black binding. Any suggestions?

That is so adorable, looks like you like .... I mean LOVE Greyhounds. Love your other dog friendly fabrics, too.

The black and red would really make it pop. Fun quilt.

Love the fabrics in this fabulous quilt! Black with a red binding is what comes to my thoughts. Hope you share another picture when you complete it. Thanks for sharing.

It needs a narrow black border to contain all that color, then the wider border of your choice. I like the red, tan, black or brown prints in the quilt.

Adorable!

cuppi duke 08-27-2011 09:27 AM

Either the red or black. I like your quilt.

love it. If you have it, that browm would be perfect as a border. Black with red binding would work well too.

Love the quilt with all the different fabrics.

MaggieLou 08-27-2011 10:38 AM

I ordered the greyhound fabric from hotdiggitydog.com. They have all different dog and cat breeds and other animal fabric. The paw print and bones fabric I bought at JoAnn's about 3 years ago. (They still have the fabric - ask me how I know). The brown/black fabric I got at my LQS.

Love it and love your avatar. We may add a dog to the house and I'm torn between another Borzoi, German Shepard or rescue Greyhound. Did you have any problems when your Grey arrived? The local rescue was discouraging listing tons of problems with adjustment.

stoppain 08-28-2011 08:27 AM

QuiltinMama 08-28-2011 08:41 AM

Great quilt. I would do the first border in the brown and blk mingle fabric that is in the quilt then add a couple of other borders.

gypsylady5 08-28-2011 10:30 AM

I'd border with the solid black.

jeannie t 08-28-2011 11:11 AM

eparys 08-28-2011 12:00 PM

Love the quilt - I have a friend who has had several addopted greyhounds over the years.

sylviasmom 08-28-2011 12:04 PM

My suggestion, put a small border, finished 1" in the beige fabric, with 3" finished border in black print and bind in red. I like everything about your quilt! Beautiful!!
