Scrambled 9-Patch from batkis
#53
This is top number 3 finished in 2013! I am doing a little stash bashing! I had a collections of batik fat quarters that I decided to finally use. I made this scrambled 9-patch using a black on black print for the original center. There are 28 different batiks in this top. I am not sure if I will add a border or not. It is 87 by 87 right now. Any suggestions on a border? Thanks for looking.

That is a stunning quilt. I wouldn't put any border on it unless you need it to be larger. Bind it in the same black you used in the quilt. Or if you need it to be a bit larger, use the black and then bind it in batiks -- pieced together every 18-22 inches.

Beautiful quilt and beautiful fabric. I think at least a small - 3" or so black border would really set the quilt. It's amazing how simple patterns can really "sing" with the fabrics you choose, but I have always loved the batiks, need to get busy and make my Boston Commons in all batik fabrics.
