Here's my latest baby quilt. I sewed from 10:00 last night until 3:00 this morning to get the top done (baby is due October 31 and is a girl). I only had to do the frog stitch 3 times (luckily I caught the misplaced square early on and only had to undo 4" each time). Now the question is: to border or not to border. I'd appreciate your input. Thanx.

Very nice. I might put a border on it depending on how big it is. Either way great job! :thumbup:
|
Very pretty. And you kept it all together even working all night (that's usually when I screw up LOL). I would put a narrow border of the pinwheel fabric and then a larger border (same size as blocks) of one of the block colors. all your colors are lovely. Great job!

Very pretty!

Beautiful quilt. I would make border from pin wheel fabric.
|
That's very pretty, is that you own pattern?
|
Pretty as it is in the pic unless u want to make it bigger so the baby can use more years :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
I found the 3-D pinwheel on the tutorials on this site and the rest I just threw together and then rearranged the blocks until I found just the right mix. It was fun to put together and I'd do another one in a heart beat.
|
Very pretty.. If you have enough put a small border of the pin wheel fabric.. but it looks good with out one.. good job.
|
My decision would be based on the size needed. I think it would look nice with a border, if it wouldn't make it too big. If so, It looks lovely without a border.
|
Very cute.
|
You did a great job!!
|
I believe borders give the finishing touch. But, it's whatever suits your fancy.
|
Very cute!
|
Uber cute! I say no border, I like it just the way it is.
|
love the happy colors
|
This is so colorful, I love those pinwheels. Nice job!
|
I agree with janRN. It would finish off nicely & the child could enjoy for a longer time.
|
How big is it already? I like borders even if its a narrow one. Very cute!
|
Really cute, I need to try those pinwheels.
|
Cute baby quilt. I agree with the others a small border same as base for pinwheel and then another of one of the block colors.
|
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Love the pinwheels, colors, layout...just perfect! I agree with the other member that said a thin boarder of of the pinwheel fabric and then a wider one of one of your block colors. This is a fabulous quilt.
|
Very nice

Pretty as it is in the pic unless u want to make it bigger so the baby can use more years
************************************************** **********I agree, the child will want to use it after infancy. Adding borders would make it usable for many more years. |
I would use the pinwheel fabric for a border....Great quilt!! :thumbup: :D

Do you have enough of the green that is the background on the pinwheel block? If not for a border, at least for binding?
|
Love those pinwheels. Such a happy quilt.

Very pretty. I would border it.. I think it would make it stand out more.. but either way, its lovely.. Now go take a nap..
|
So nice for that little girl who is coming. She will love it...bordered or not.
|
I like this. I have one to do now for January and just learned I have another GB due in June so I may just borrow this pattern. It is adorable.
|
definitely a border. I have a couple of odd 3d pinwheel left overs and your quilt gave me the idea for a charity uilt. Thanks.
|
Love your pinwheels and fabric choice. That multicolor would be cute for the borders. Good job.
|
Beautiful, I think border it with same fab that pinwheels are done with.
