I just got this top finished for our nephew. I have been trying to decide if it needs another border, perhaps in a maroon or a burgundy. Its a good size as it is, he will be 9 yrs old in a few months.
Thanks! The whole quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]129309[/ATTACH] My favorite block [ATTACH=CONFIG]129365[/ATTACH] |
I love it like it is, but would also look good with maroon border. very pretty!
|
It looks great! If it is big enough you could just bind it with the deep red colour, but 9 yr olds are still growing so making it bigger won't come amiss either.
|
No no no no no! Leave it as is. It's beautiful right now!
|
Oooooo! I like it. I think another border would be great. Do you have fabric similar in color to the red in the quilt. I love how you put sashing around each disappearing block and how each block is different. Gives it a nice clean, smooth look. You did a wonderful job with this quilt.

I don't think I have enough of a dark red to do another border but I am heading to the fabric store Monday to get the backing fabric and of course add to the stash so I will look.
This was my first D9P and I am real pleased with how easy it was and how nice it came out. I still have 2 more to do, this time for girls and an applique quilt to finish. All that before Dec 6! Thanks for all the compliments and suggestions! |
If it was mine, I would add the additional border.
|
An additional border in a darker color would be nice, though it is great as it is too!!!
|
IMAO I would add another contrast-border, although it looks great even without it.
