Is this too much pink?

Is this too much pink? Should I put a different border on it? Or maybe no border? What do you think?
|
No, it is absolutely stunning!
|
Lovely quilt, can't wait to see it finished. I love pink and would add a narrow 1" border of blue or green and then a wide 4" border of dark dark pink. Any border you use will only make it a standout quilt.
|
no, don't put a pink border on. Looks really good.
|
I would choose one of the darker colors in the quilt and make a border with that and it would show up more and be a nice "frame" for the whole quilt. It's very pretty!
|
I love it. I think a dark border would be perfect.
|
So, so vintage looking. I see vintage quilts like this on ebay, many using feedsacks! You have a great one going!
Yeap, agree with the rest, either no border or a darker border. |
A small border of navy and then back to the pink. The navy will make it pop. That quilt is stunning.
|
Dark border... Should make the light colors pop...
|
One can never have enough pink and it is beautiful as is.
|
No.... I like pink
|
Your quilt is lovely but I think a navy border or binding will make it pop.
|
Love your quilt - very pretty! Our favorite LQS owner is a designer of fabric/patterns, etc. and is in all the magazines. She taught that a 1/4 " trim of a "pop" color before the border makes for a beautiful finish. One of my friends has been doing that on all her quilts and they are stunning. Just a thought ===
|
Love the quilt, dark border might be nice to make it pop....Be sure to post the finised piece if you decide to border it.......would love to see how it turned out.
|
Yes a little to much for me.
|
I love it!!!!!!
|
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?

Since the pink is broken up by other colors, it's not at all "too much!" Beautiful! I think any color border would be lovely.
|
i love the pink!
|
A light narrow border and a wider dark border to "frame" your stunning work of art would look wonderful.
|
Not for my granddaughter. There's nothing that's too much pink for her. She can't be the only one. I also love the quilt. Maybe GD takes after GM
|
You have been given alot of good ideas, no matter which one you chose the quilt will be awesome.
|
I bit for a navy frame. Lovely!

I would not put a border and bind it in a darker color. It's very pretty.
|
The white border softens the pink and perhaps a darker color to bind the quilt to add a little more contrast. Your quilt is so awesome, just love it to bits!!!! Whatever you decide, it will be perfect!
|
oh no its beautiful!!!!
|
you never cease to amaze me with the handsewing pics i see of your beautiful quilts. such labor! i think it needs a border to let your eyes rest and draw out the individuality of the quilt. if the cream is already sewn on, i would finish it with a darker color. if its just basted to see what you think, i would put a small 1.5 inch border in a darker color and then a lighter larger outer border, the pink would be good. either way, it is absolutely beautiful! you have such a talent!! can't wait to see what you can do with your LA!
|
It is a great work of art.
|
a darker boarder , a very lovely quilt
|
Just beautiful!
|
I think it's a whole lotta work, I love it.
|
no, not too much pink. I'd just bind it. It's beautiful.
|
What a great scrappy! I love those many fabrics. I agree that a dark border with a medium binding will make the entire piece glow! Please be sure to show us your finished project. Thanks for sharing.
|
Never too much pink for me, it's beautiful.
|
If you border in pink, I would go darker so that the light pink inside is contained and doesn't seem like it's coming off the sides(not too much darker, just a medium value) Its a great quilt
|
It is wonderful!
|
It is definitely not too much pink. I love it.
|
Truly beautiful! Pink is not always a favorite of mine, but that is lovely!
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. |
