I like the pink dots on black. I like the dramatic look of the quilt and the simple lines of it which doesn't make that pretty floral work for this project.
|
Beautiful quilt.
|
The floral is pretty! Would adding a 2-4" wide black inner border with the floral as a second outside border work? It would separate the pinks in the two fabrics.
|
I like the idea of using the dot fabric. I think either the dots or a solid pink
|
It looks good in the picture. Beautiful quilt.
|
If this was my quilt, I would put black ribbon for the binding and sew some bows in the lighter colored squares.
|
I think I would try the black & pink pokkadot as the border. Keep the geometric modern look going. The floral border sabotages the look
Save the floral for backing another quilt. |
I do like it...and I like quilts backed with flannel...so warm and cozy!!!!
|
I love the floral, but not for a border, nice maybe for the backing.

Nice quilt, she'll treasure it for years, since she had a hand in picking colors. |
i dont think the border would compliment the quilt top
|
Very pretty!

the floral dose not go with the rest of the quilt. The advantage to having a stash is for future use. You will use it in a future quilt, so save it for now.
|
I like the dots as a border or if you have othersolid fabric left over combine into the border with the dots.
|
I wouldn't use the floral, if you have any more of the black with pink dot I think that would look nice. As for the back, I think a gray would be nice.
|
You could just bind it. Wow so pretty.
|
I would add a narrow border of the grey from your quilt, THEN do a wider border of one of the dots, either pink or black. The grey will separate the black of the quilt blocks from the black of the border do they don't run together.
Beautiful quilt! |
If you want to make it bigger, maybe a 2" gray border, followed by a black/pink piano key border.
|
Love the floral fabric but not for this quilt
|
I love black and pink together! I think the dots would look great!
|
I vote for a pink and black stripe. Quilt is wonderful

it is nice fabric but is a bit too busy for this quilt.

Love your quilt, but if it were mine I wouldn't use the floral. As others suggested either black, pink or the dots.
|
I think I would use a small border of a light pink and a bigger border of the black dots. I love dots. However, your quilt could stand alone. I love it. :-)
|
Not sure what I would use for the border.
|
I think the color is ok but the flowers are way too small. I would lean more to a Marble or solid Dark Gray or Black.
|
I wouldn't use the floral. A solid or marbled border of pink or black would be better

LOL, I feel like the odd man out. But I like it with the floral. Changes it up a bit, but stays in the color scheme. I don't see why things have to be all matchy matchy. I think it does go together. As far as not fitting with the feel or grande scheme of the quilt, who says it has to stay squares? I say you matched it on color it doesn't HAVE to match on pattern. Thats what I love about quilting. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. It is beautiful what ever you decide, she will LOVE it!

She will love the quilt... I think the border fabric is really pretty, but not to crazy about it as the border. The dots would work better I think...

Do like your quilt, but I wouldn't use the floral for this quilt either. Don't know how much of the floral you do have, and can't see enough of it to figure out the repeat - but from what I can see - I bet you that your floral fabric would make a knock-out OBW or Stack 'n whack"! I think that the quilt can stand on it's own without a border - unless you need it to make the quilt a little larger.
|
You could use the floral but you would need a black strip around that one to pull it all in together
|
I love your quilt but I am with others and wouldn't use the floral for borders.
