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.

My thoughts exactly.

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.
