You certainly do have a lot of options. I'd have to audition border fabrics; without that, I wouldn't even attempt a suggestion. It's a lovely quilt with lovely colors and so many border choices.

What if you added an 2 inch white print on print border then add prairie points in all of the colored quilt fabrics. Add a second 4-5 inch white border and bind with either your favorite color out of the quilt or make a pieced stripped border out of all the colors!

I am brand new at this forum, but I am sticking my 2 cents in. That is a beautiful piece and the black looks great, so why not frame it with a small amount of black then go to your border. Think the black would be to stark?

I tend to do straight borders (not courageous enough to do pieced borders yet) - I think I would go with white, yellow and purple.

I'd go with the lavender/purple border.

Take your fabrics and put one one of each on side of quilt. Stand BACK and see which one POPS the quilt. I too and am leaning towards the purple.

Great Quilt!!

If you have more of the lavender I would use it for a border, as none of it is really touching the outside.

Beautiful points!

I like Gaigai's idea. Can't wait to see what you decide!

I think it is a beautiful quilt. How big is it?

GrammaNancy 05-24-2010 05:29 AM

beautiful, makes me think of summer...

Jingle 05-24-2010 06:42 AM

I think black would be the perfect color for the border.

Top is bright and colorful. Even though I'm not passionate about purple, this lends itself to having the darker, dotted purple that's in the star as a border, also.

I am open to any ideas on this border situtation. Please help!!!

(The black is not on the quilt it is the rug it is sitting on!!)

put a white borderof inch on sides an then on topan bottom put 1 1/2inch.then do the same with each of the other colors.an increase the sizes of each one.an do it with the same as the othersin the same order you have in your quilt.

It is beautiful, I would use a small white boarder first and then add your color boarders. God bless. Penny
