Wedding Quilt --"Sidewalks around the blocks"
 

I just finished this top for my youngest daughter's wedding gift. She and her fiance saw the fabrics in my grandson's grad quilt and fell in love with them. I was glad the LQS still had them in stock! It is not truly a "thinking outside the block" because the "blocks" have sidewalks :>. It is not what I had envisioned but several have said it is fine as it is. I hope the kids think so, too.
Right now the border is 5 inches wide. I'm contemplating making it a bit narrower. What do you all think?

I love, love it, and the wider border looks just right to me.

I love the quilt!!! My suggestion would be a narrower light border with a darker border on the outside. Just to hold it together. Just my opinion. Ann

I like a wide dark border (usually 6-8") so the quilter can do something fantastic in it. Peggy

Beautiful quilt!

I love the quilt, I agree with Peggy about border,

Very pretty quilt--agree with the suggestion about a dark outer border.

I think it's awesome! I like the wide border, but would bind it with the dark rust/brown color to finish it off.

Yes to the wider border

Beautiful quilt! The border doesn't look out of balance, if that's your concern...it looks great!

That's a very pretty top and I would keep the 5" border. It gives the top balance. IMHO, I think the larger blocks need the larger border. Love your fabric choices. Thanks for sharing.

Love your quilt top. Love the colors and the wide border. With that I think a dark outer border would look lovely also.

Gorgeous quilt!!!

Spectacular just the way it is!:thumbup:

Beautiful! Anyone would be lucky to get this quilt as a gift!

Beautiful the colors are gorgeous

It is beautiful!

I think it is a fantastic quilt. I agree that all it needs is a rust/brown binding. Your guilt is very pleasing to my syes...love the colors!

It's so beautiful. Border looks great the way it is. Love the pattern.

i love the 'sidewalks' because they make the rest of the block float on the quilt. it's terrific and the border is fine.

That is one fine quilt. I'd make the border a little narrower and add a third border to match the first. Just one of my rituals. I like the way that looks, but if you don't then what you have is fine. I would though use the dark fabric as the binding.

that is a great job, I love it

What a very nice gift! I'm sure they will love it!

I agree beautfiul quilt

I love it. I have the pattern and have not done it yet but your is wonderful.

thats awesome!! truly a labor of love. congats to you and your family may they have a long and happy life together.

I LOVE it! The larger border helps bring out the centers, I think you should leave it like it is, my personal opinion. Beautiful quilt, beautiful wedding gift. It also depends on how big you want the finished quilt size to be, about the borders, I suppose.

Gorgeous just the way it is!

Gorgeous quilt!!!! I like it the way it is.......bind in a dk color. I keep going back for a look.......awesome quilt :)

Beautiful, border is fine the way it is!!!!

It is a beautiful quilt. I, too, would narrow up the light border and add a dark border to hold the quilt together more.

Fantastic. I do agree with Helen S. regarding the binding.

Beautiful quilt top! I think it looks good the way it is.

YEe, I agree... that's what I'd do, too. This is just a gorgeous quilt any way you cut it! I don't blame your kids for wanting this beautiful fabric in their wedding quilt. I know your DD & DSIL will love & treasure it for years & years to come

Beautiful quilt, your DD will love it. I also agree, a wider border will finish it off. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome quilt!

Lovely quilt. I think it looks fine as it is

WOW I love it the way it is! Great quilt.

Very pretty, I think the border width is right.

It is a fabulous quilt and the border size works well with the size of the quilt. IMHO a narrower border would look scimpy on this stunning work. Excited to see it finished.
peace
