Help with borders for BWR quilt
1 Attachment(s)
I'm ready for borders on this quilt that I designed with EQ7. I don't know how to show what I am thinking, so I hope you understand.
What would you think of the first 2 borders (1 1/2" check and 1 1/2" dot) sewn together lengthwise, and a 3" HST (red and dot) in each of the 4 corners. Basically repeating the monkey wrench outer squares. I would then eliminate the red outer border, and just make a narrow red binding. Does this make sense? Your opinions are appreciated. |
Your plans sound great. It's so pretty already, just love the use of polka dots.
|
i think either way is a winner
|
I really don't think you can go wrong at this point. Either border will look fantastic.
|
I like what you've got, except I would make the small red square in the border Corners black. The red blends in with the outer border. JMHO.
|
Thanks for your quick replies. You are all the greatest. Fay, you are right about the red squares in the corner. If I do it like the picture I will change those squares to black. But I'm still not sure, so keep the ideas flowing. I'd even appreciate different ideas if you don't like either of these.

I like it the way it is, but I would also make the corner block black. I am beginning to love 2 color theme quilts more and more.
|
I agree to make the red corner square black and think that would do it.
|
Have you considered adding a narrow white flange before the red outer border? That would allow the red corner square to stand out. Just a thought.
|
I like it very much. I like the red blocks in the corners. It tells me it is part of the final border. It gives the final border a nice design.
