IMHO it could use a tone on tone border. Perhaps a blue that goes with the sashing?

Thank you so very much.
I have just spent a week going through totes of scrapes and cutting them into 5" blocks and was wondering what to do with them. You came to my rescue with a wonderful pattern. Thanks, now I know what my next project will be. doglover.

thanks doglover |
Maybe a black border? I love the quilt!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:
|
I like those blocks, great job. I would finish with a solid border, that would really set it off.
|
a soft peachy pink border would be nice... I think. I'm a newbie, so take it with a "bag" of salt!!! :lol: :lol:
|
Personally, I would love a solid pink border.
|
a solid border will look so beautiful.
|
Great job.... I would use a solid border!
|
OOH I love it! I think it can definately stand on its own. I love scrappy.
|
I like the idea of a border...beautiful quilt!
|
i love it
|
I vote for the plain border also, maybe in the kinda like cranberry color. It is pretty. I love it!!!! :thumbup:
|
I like it how it is, but I solid would frame it nicely.
|
What a nice job! If you have enough of any of the fabrics you used, you could certainly add it but I don't think you have to. Looks great the way it is.
|
I'm not a big fan of solid borders, especially if the quilt center doesn't have much solid. I don't think the quilt "needs" a border, unless you want it to be bigger.
It is a beautiful quilt, and the sashing is a work of genius. It gives the quilt a unique look, in a very good way. |
Do you usually do a inner and outer border on quilts. I have a quilt time that is ready for borders or not- just wondered what everyone else does

I think another border the same as the sashing, then a 1/2" binding int - if you have enough, the eggplant coloured square in the upper right and lower right corners - or if there's not enough left a plain solid or other print (maybe finer) same colours or as close as possible. Thanks for asking, it's fun to muse about other quilters work, somehow it's easier to have a fresh perspective on it
|
solid border on this one it won't take away from the block. The one you chose is nice but you don't see the blocks. How about black, white, red, blue hope this helps....

Wow!! I've never seen that pattern. It's lovely in scraps. I think it easily stands as is and would also look nice with a solid border. You can't make a wrong decision. It's beautiful.
|
Instead of a border, how about a dark solid binding? I think very dark forest green or black. Maybe make the border a bit wider than you normally would, and get two birds with one stone...I mean binding?
|
I think it's got enough going on that it stands on it's own without a border. Great quilt!
|
Looks nice just the way it is!!

OH beautiful. I love it. Nice Job.
|
I really like it the way it is but a border would be nice too. Guess you would have to audition some fabrics & see what you think.
|
I think a solid boarder would be nice. I am so glad to see this pattern. CJsmoma did a tutorial on this (arrowhead) I really liked it. she cut hers down in center. I'm doing as you are in making a baby quilt in pink and white. Going shopping Sat. for a third color. At least I have a idea of what the quilt will look like (nice) Thank you for sharing.
|
I definitely agree, a solid will balance all that color really well
|
I agree with others who have said a solid border would be a good finish. You might pick that pink that looks solid in the picutre, but sometimes it's hard to tell in a picture on the computer. It looks like a medium pink in your quilt, especially considering that there is another, deeper pink.
Very well done. |
Solid, dark border would be my choice, OR even better, solid dark binding. It would frame it beautifully.
|
I am in two minds. I like it the way it is, but a border would look good as well.
|
I think your fine either way, but a border would make it bed size and you might be happier with it in the long run.
|
I just love scrappy. You did a wonderful job.I like it just the way it is.
|
Wow...love it!
|
I am putting up a new posting. It is finished.
|
Wow, can't wait to see it.
