My Bonnie Hunter Easy Street Mystery Quilt Top
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is my version of the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt Easy Street. Loved doing this mystery quilt over the holidays and love the way it turned out. I learned so much in the process... now just have to decide on borders. Any ideas?

I love it.

Wow, it turned out great! I hope you posted it in Bonnie's site too. I think just a wide red or blue border would be nice. You could do a pieced border but it might take away from the center a bit.

I vote for blue.

maryb119 01-09-2013 04:31 PM

I think a narrow inner border of blue and then a wider red border would frame it nicely. Great job! Amazing quilt!

That is awesome!!!!

Good Job! I have all the units done but I have some deadline quilts to do before I can put it all together. I love your color choices. Keep us posted as you finish this quilt:)

Is that a great quilt

Quiltaddiction 01-09-2013 06:11 PM

Lovely job I'm still putting the blocks together with mine. My first Bonnie quilt. I have really enjoyed the process too. Your colours are gorgeous.

hopetoquilt 01-09-2013 06:35 PM

I think it looks wonderful with no border.

Country1 01-09-2013 06:39 PM

frustratedquilter40 01-09-2013 07:50 PM

wow I love your colors !!!!! I need to get on the ball and get mine done . Thanks for sharing it is beautiful.

busy fingers 01-09-2013 10:52 PM

That looks lovely. Very effective pattern.

BizzieLizzie 01-10-2013 01:01 AM

Lovely looking quilt! I would go with a blue border or a combination of 2 large blue borders sandwiching a thinner red border maybe, depending on what you prefer? I think some blue will balance the red nicely. I look forward to seeing what your finished quilt will look like. Thank you for sharing. :)

I like it just the way it is..beautiful

nunnyJo 01-10-2013 04:44 AM

like the idea of a small blue then a larger red border. beautiful quilt

catladyquilts 01-10-2013 04:56 AM

it turned out great

kpelletier83 01-10-2013 05:02 AM

I am with the narrow blue and wide red. But then I am partial to red. Great job.

Moonglow 01-10-2013 05:04 AM

Nicely done.

pinkcastle 01-10-2013 05:10 AM

Nice job! Have you thought about a narrow blue border with a larger tan outer border? I'm assuming that is a tan/brown in the edge of the blocks.

Krystyna 01-10-2013 05:41 AM

It turned out fabulously! I'd choose dark blue.

Greenheron 01-10-2013 05:49 AM

Wow, great top! Perhaps a red border would blend with the red HSTs and meld the pattern and border.

sewmom 01-10-2013 06:07 AM

Whatever your dark color in the blocks is- that's what the border should be. It could be a little one to make it pop or a larger one- you would have to audition to see, but definitely the dark color.

I agree - Great quilt!!!

terri bb 01-10-2013 07:20 AM

something dark and solid maybe to give your eyes a rest? or a cream color for a less bold look might be better. either way it is fantastic!

gabeway 01-10-2013 07:29 AM

It came oh great! I would think a dark red or black border.

DebbE 01-10-2013 07:34 AM

I'd do a fairly narrow border of the gold (?) fabric just to finish it. It wouldn't take away from the wonderful quilt top, but just complete it. Lovely!

zzmom 01-10-2013 07:34 AM

That is such a beautiful quilt. I love the way it looks right now. Not sure if I would add any borders. Great job!

cjackaitlin 01-10-2013 08:39 AM

Awesome quilt, just love Bonnie, i vote Blue also.

Belfrybat 01-10-2013 10:06 AM

I really like your colour choices. I vote for blue, but not too wide, then possibly bind it in one of the reds from the quilt. I'm jealous you are finished. I'm still working on steps 3 and 4.

Jingle 01-10-2013 11:19 AM

Beautiful quilt, pattern and colors. Great job.

hockeymom444 01-10-2013 03:38 PM

I say skip the border! It is just perfect as it is! Wonderful!
