You did a beautiful job on this quilt, very pretty!!! :D:D:D
I like the idea of a red border, or if you want a little more subtle, a medium blue.

I think a red border would be awesome. It would really make your quilt "pop". It's a beautiful quilt and the yellow border doesn't do it justice.
I agree with LaurieE, the small red squares caught my eye first.

The border just seems to sit there, unrelated to the quilt. Not sure if it's the color or what, but it just doesn't fit somehow.

I added the red the border to the yellow border, and it does bring out the colors of the quilt. Thank you for your help.

I would trim the yellow border down to be only a sashing of about 1" then add the red border.

It looks very pretty with the red border added! I bet in person you can see more of the yellows in your SunBonnet Sue's tying it with your beautiful yellow border! It really shines now that you have added the red border! Beautiful quilt!!

That is pretty. You did a great job. The red border makes it stand out! Love it!

I agree...a brighter border! The quilt is so sweet! :thumbup:

It is beautiful! Maybe a border made from your 1930's fabrics.
