You have lovely white diamond cut-outs that remind me of paper snowflakes, but then they end in 'X's' on the right hand side. I would say, make the center 8 x8--that would give a balanced pattern left to right and top to bottom.
I agree that a deep red narrow inner border would look lovely and really make the white pop. |
I like the picture of the first layout better, the red seems more scattered throughout the top. I would make a narrow deep red border then additional wider border.
|
IMHO the first one you tried balances the red out and will be lovely with a darker border.
|
I like the very first one too and with a narrow red boarder and the pink outer border it will look amazing.
|
I like the last layout, but I think it needs a red in the top right corner and bottom left corner to be balanced. It also needs the red border next to the quilt, then the border fabric you are showing, but putting that fabric next to the quilt, might wash it out. You have a very pretty quilt in the works, but it would probably be in your interest to put it down for a while longer, then go back to it..............just my humble opinion :o

like the quilt but not the border fa. do solid before the print shown or keep the print for binding. like the pops of red?

My thoughts exactly, narrow red followed by your border fabric, then maybe bind in red.

I like the last picture posted. It's very balanced and pleasing to the eye. A dark red border would really make the red in the blocks pop.
|
[QUOTE=HillCountryGal;5538912]Is it possible to concentrate all the darker blocks in the middle? Then let each color fade to the next.
How about putting all the dark blocks together in sets of 4? You could put them in the middle as the above post suggests and work out from there. Also I think a narrow inner border before the large one might bring the quilt together more to your liking. |

Ok this is the border I had bought, based on the fact that it was her favorite fabric of them. It doesn't look good does it... :-( UGH!
