Its almost done. Just need a border. Would Black or white look good as border. (only yardage I have) I was working on this when I stopped and did David's skull quilt..... Some of my points don't quite match up :oops: , but I think it's ok?
Thanks for looking....... :D

Very Pretty!!! You did a great job!! :D :D

Butterflyspain 11-15-2008 11:12 AM

Beverly, really lovely quilt really nice colours and for that reason I donīt think that I would choose to go with black and white, think it needs one of the colours you have in the quilt

Thats just my opinion though perhaps you could audition some black and white against it for us it may look really good.

Awwwwwwww Thanks hun.... I sure love sewing........ I';m SEW glad I don't have to give it up.

SaraSewing 11-15-2008 12:19 PM

Good job! I agree that the colorful edge would be a good choice for the border. And who really cares about your points. If somebody is looking that close, smack 'em.

i thought that too hun, BUT the only fabric i have thats big enough is black or white,,, I think i'll put it asude and finish that part later..... :D

Izy 11-15-2008 12:43 PM

Bev, it loooks great, maybe you could do just a narrow border in white and use all the leftovers to make a scrappy border, more work but would look nice I think :D

grammo013 11-15-2008 12:45 PM

:roll: If they are that close they better be sleeping under it.

It is said No man is perfect and neither is a quilter. Everyone makes slight mistakes no matter how good they are.

:P sure don't want them looking to close at mine.

Oh and it is very pretty. Lay a layer of black under one side to see if it looks to dark. Take a picture so we can see before you cut. Think white would wash away your colors hun. Or if you have lots of scraps make a scrappy border from all of your colors with white thrown in so it don't distract.

It is BE-U-TEE-MUS Bev! I will wait & see the "auditions" on the borders, but I know what ever you do, it will see look wonderful! :D

Ok I layed some black around a corner?? Yes....... Or No?
OR what color should I use?
Pic kinda blurry sorry

Jim's Gem 11-15-2008 02:30 PM

Looks great Bev. You did a terrific job. I like maybe a thin border in black and then come back with pieces of your color scraps, it that's all you have, white may wash it out too much. (I have to confess, though, I am not a fan of much white in my quilts, nor am I a fan of solid colors in my quilts)

Quilt4u 11-15-2008 02:49 PM

The black makes it pop. Love it.

Butterflyspain 11-15-2008 03:32 PM

Well, I will now eat my words. chomp, chomp, ....Black looks really nice, I like it-, then perhaps a coloured piano type border of the colours you have left.

Sorry just getting back to this, I misread your first post, thought you said black AND white not black OR white. :oops: I think the black because you have such a mix of bright colors that the black makes a good nuetral. I love black with brights!!!

sandpat 11-15-2008 03:47 PM

I like the black too..but a more narrow strip, then of course a scrappy border. I love the piano key type border which would look great with this one. Its really easy and you can use up lots of little scraps doing it.

(I was told when I started to learn to quilt that if you couldn't see a mistake when galloping by on a horse, then it wasn't important) :wink:

grammo013 11-15-2008 04:10 PM

I like the black. Makes the other colors pop out. Go for it.

Are you coping me Patti LOL look what I said spooooky... Elle

bebe 11-15-2008 05:10 PM

I think it needs a 2 inch border of another color before you put the black. it would make the border more interesting. No more than a 4 inch black border. That is my opininon!!!!

Quiltingly Yours 11-15-2008 05:10 PM

Nice job, I think I'd put a two inch border in black and then the last border, a three or four inchs in the white. I like doing my binding in the same color as the last border. But your the designer so this should be up to you.

Happy Quilting...


Janstar 11-15-2008 05:12 PM

Hi Bev, I think the black really looks nice and then a scrappy border of the fabric you have already used. What ever you decide will be fine though!
