Opinions needed for borders. What do you think?? TIA!

What about something in red!

Yup. Red would be a fantastic choice.

Oooooohhh - drooling - love it love it! Border, agree - a little dash of red and a big splash of either dark or light, which ever you want to pull out of the blocks.

Do you want to do simple strips, or do you want to do something like a ribbon effect? A nice collection of borders:

I was thinking of the 'curling ribbon' with your quilt ...

Yes red would set it off..that is lovely!!

oh my oh my.. stunning!! I would put your favorite color with it - it is gorgeous!

I'd choose red. It will give it a dramatic effect. Very nice job on this.

i also immediately thought of red...

it will bring out the little bit from the flowers/what not that is already peeking out of your current choice of fabrics...

they are gorgeous fabrics by the by...and a beautiful pattern...

cant wait to see it finished

I think any bright color would look good like a neon green or pink. I like the black and white prints, it is going to be a beautiful quilt when you get it finished.

I agree with border, and I really love that back and white

Really pretty.

Very, very nice. I like it a lot.

I agree, red!

Love it. I would put a 1" red border around it before an outside border so you have just a touch of red or another bright color

Gorgeous - gotta be red!

I love what you have so far! :thumbup:
Just my opinion, but if I were doing this, I would use red sashing - put 4 blocks together and sash with red. Then also use narrow red border, then black border, then red again.
Hey, I said it was "just my opinion"

It's funny you should say that, I was think about sashing myself...thanks for you opinion
Katt
would you put the sashing between the each row of 4 block or put 4 complete blocks together then the sashing...just a thought

I would day something red, because there is a little bit of red in the quilt. It is great so far!!! :)

Piano keys. That's my vote :)

Yes red would be lovely, nicely done

It's going to be beautiful. I would use red to bring out the small flowers in the print.

I think a red border would look good.

Any bright primary color will look great!

Definitely needs at least a narrow red border then maybe one of the fabrics you used in the quilt. It will be very pretty whatever you decide to do. Oh yes, then I would probably do a red or black binding.

That is really pretty. I would do red borders too I think.

I love the idea of sashing - how about repeating the inner square on the edges in reds? A curling ribbon would look great, but I would keep it to black and white. JMHO :)

double post - or no post? What's the story?

A hint of that pink (the flowers in the strip..if that is pink)and close it with one of the black main fabrics.

Love it! Red, or maybe a bright yellow

A plain one, which does not compete with the optical tricks you blocks are playing. They really dance.

Ahh....Yellow, of course.

Narrow red or solid black, wide black and white print, black binding.

I agree. Do you have more blocks? If not, how about making it 4 blocks square & the leftover on the back? love it & happy quilting!

Looks great! My first thought was it needs a little red in it. lol
Show us what you end up doing!!

Neat so far!

It's bold and beautiful. I think a red border would draw my eye away from your wonderful pieced blocks. I'd use either no border at all, or a small black border. If you'd like to pull the red color, then maybe use red as binding.

I would stick with the black/white theme and use a black border, not solid but with a very small print so that it appears black from a distance but with enough print to add interest.
Then bind with a solid black.

I would go for the black also,I love it whatever you choose

Nice Blocks! I also vote for Red.

I like it very much.
