It is beautiful and I bet it was a lot of work to make. Use pink or whatever color makes you happy for the border. Great job on this.
|
Its a beautiful, stunning quilt. Sure is a lot of pieces!
|
I would put a narrow border of the same green that is in it, then a wider border of a darker pink.... or else reverse those colours... it will make the green pop..... pink is in the red family and the opposite to red on the colour wheel is green... pink and green go really well with each other....
|
Oh my gosh! This is stunning! No it's not too much of anything

I would try to pull out one of the darker colours for a border, but I would audition before choosing. It will talk to you when you have the right colour, but I do not think I would use more pink.
|
Not too much pink at all!! Stunning quilt
|
That is a lot of pink, but bauty is in the eye of the beholder.. I like it!
|
I vote for a dark border-yummy quilt!
|
I love it. a pink, purple, or cream border would work if you choose to add a border. but it is stunning as it is. :-)

All I can say is "WOW!!". Absolutely stunning. If the quilt size is what you want, I'd just do the darker border & binding (I like the navy idea). If you need it just a little bit bigger, I'd do a 3" navy border, followed by a 2" strip that alternates various colors in the quilt (those would be 2" long each) and finish up with another 3" navy border with binding in navy. It would just nicely frame all the gorgeous blocks. How are you planning to quilt it?
|
you can't have too much pink! I love pink and your quilt is great!
|
Ooohhhh I like it. Not the typical white. I think no border.
|
my, you've been busy! Other than the pink, I see no predominate color. A dark border would tie it together, then a pink to finish it off would be great. Size would depend on the finished size you're looking for. Can't wait to see what it looks like quilted! Have you got your longarm yet??
|
Oh this is just beautiful!
Not too much pink :) |
no...i think it looks great...the white border looks good, but i wonder if a dark blue border will make the colors pop...just a thought:-)
|
Very pretty, i would use a darker border than the pink, it could only make it more beautiful
|
Very pretty! I agree a dark border to frame it.
|
Yes dark blue or green thin border would be lovely... Pretty quilt!!
|
I LOVE it!!! What a GREAT way to use up scraps!!!
|
I think you did a great job. If you don't like the look. send me a pm and I will give you my address. I'll even pay postage.
|
It's beautiful, pink is a lovely color, and I agree with XYZ123...one can never have enough pink!
|
I love it like this!
|
Not too much pink, however, I would not put a border on thes beauty!
|

|

|
What a lot of work went into your quilt! It is beautiful-can't get enough pink!!
|

I don't really think it needs a border, but would use a darker (maybe medium) pink for the binding. If you do decide on adding a border, a narrow dark strip then a wider medium pink (possibly a print that picks up the colors of the other fabrics used) would be my choice. |
I would not put a border on it, just a navy or dark binding
|
what a beautiful scraps quilt, I love the pink background, maybe a scrap border?
|
Is this a periwinkle star? My mother, who is now deceased, made some of these. I would add a navy and dark pink like was previously suggested. I think all quilts need 1 or 2 borders. It is beautiful and lots of work!
|
If it's for a guy, then yes...otherwise, nope-looks great!
|
I vote for a medium green border to compliment the green and help bring some of the green in the quilt out. I think the dark blue would be too stark for the quilt. No more pinks. There is a perfect amount in there to shimmer and pop. Very pretty and very vintage looking, an heirloom for sure.
|
I think it's perfect as is. No border needed.
|
Very beautiful quilt! I'd put a darker colored border on it, just my opinion. It's not too much pink.

A small border of navy and then back to the pink. The navy will make it pop. That quilt is stunning.

I agree with kathdavis. It will be stunning when you are finished. |
I certainly don't think it's too much pink. I always prefer quilts with borders.
|
This is a stunning quilt ! I think I would add at least a thin border of one of a navy.
