Any suggestions on a border? Thanks for looking.

I love it! I love batiks.
|
LOVE your quilt colors, fabric and the pattern you chose. Batik is my fabric of choice.
|
I love it! I don't know about adding a border. I might just bind it in black and call it beautifully done.
|
Outstanding!! What size blocks did you use of the D9P?
|
Very nice, I was thinking a black border with a small ribbon of orange near the top or bottom third of the black.
|
Very pretty. I love the bright colors.

Such a neat quilt!!!!!
|
WOW! The fabrics are gorgeous together! I guess you could use just about any of these colors for border and binding, although the black might really make it pop?
|
That is a stunning quilt. I wouldn't put any border on it unless you need it to be larger. Bind it in the same black you used in the quilt. Or if you need it to be a bit larger, use the black and then bind it in batiks -- pieced together every 18-22 inches.
|
Love it!!! I think a black border would be spectacular!!!
|
Beautiful quilt and beautiful fabric. I think at least a small - 3" or so black border would really set the quilt. It's amazing how simple patterns can really "sing" with the fabrics you choose, but I have always loved the batiks, need to get busy and make my Boston Commons in all batik fabrics.
|
OHHH, you have a great stash, beautiful quilt! How about a piano key using some of the black as well. Love it!
|
Very pretty. It amazes me...3quilts in 10 days,
|
Very pretty. I think if you want a border any dark color that you've used in the quilt would work.
|
Id suggest a black narrow border, say cut at 2 1/2" so ends at 2 " and then a wider scrappy border, maybe of left overs....that is one pretty quilt!! How many fat quarters did you start with?? I've also been saving batiks.....
|
I think I'd do a black border then bind with a scrappy binding from your leftovers if you have enough.
|
Beautiful, love the batiks...
|
So gorgeous, electrifying! Could you make a border with each of the block's material?
|
That is soooo pretty. Love it.
|
beautiful colors
|
Beautiful!! And so colorful! Terrific job!
|
A thin black border (if you have more of what you used for the centers would be nice) and then maybe a piano key using more of the batiks? It's really pretty!
|
It's beautiful. Nice work!
|
Now, that is eye candy!
|
I'm a bit late in catching up on the Board, but I sure love this quilt! It is drop-dead gorgeous! I agree with many of the posters in that, unless it needs to be bigger, go with the black binding. I'd also be interested in knowing what size squares you used. Thank you for sharing this lovely quilt!
|
I think it just needs a frame, use a border or coloured binding. Beautiful quilt
|
I don't think a border is necessary.

My first thought was black for the border, makes the other colors pop.
|
I agree with butterfly48. Black would wonderful.
|
That's absolutely wonderful! Use black - anything else would take away from your quilt. Lovely!!
|
I love this quilt. The black is perfect and the batiks so colorful. I recently made my first disappearing nine and I like that design. Thanks for sharing.
|
Beautiful!!! That looks great using black on the center square, it really made the colors stand out.
