Thread: It started out like this... would you look at it now!!! ( UPDATE: Pic of 2 possible borders )

I like this idea except if possible can you use your leftover fabs and make some sort of small border design with it - I would go long not squares - maybe cut on bias so all the colors are slightly angled.

Great quilt!!! My address is.... :lol: cheryl :thumbup:

I like black for a border but I really like your first one.

I like the first layout and the border on the left. Beautiful. I have never done a log cabin quilt. It is on my bucket list

Beautiful quilt. The colors just pop! I love the border on the left.

how about 2 borders; the first on should be black or red; I really like the red; your eyes need a place to rest then the 2nd one I'd do the black w/the small blocks you have displayed. I think the other border is so busy it'll take away from you quilt. Which by the way is gorgeous. I'd make the inside border smaller than the outside one.

I think the left one adds a lot of interest.
Beautiful colors.

I like the black border with the squares.

Wow! Love those bright colors and the design too. I like the border with squares best.

That is absolutely beautiful! Any one of the borders looks great!

I like the border with the blocks separated.

Very striking quilt! I like the border with the individual squares. That would really pull out the colors, in my opinion.

That is allot of work. I would be dizzy, lol! You did a great job.

I like the first border the best...the one on the left. Beautiful quilt.

Thanks for looking,

OMGosh Robyn, that is beautiful and now I showed it to my daughter and she said "oh mom please please please can I have one of those?"
So now you have inspired me!!!! I love the border on the left. I can't wait to see it completely finished.

The bottom left would be a nice border. Beautiful!!

I like the 2nd one with the longer strips :thumbup:

I like the border on the left with the spaced squares.

Beatiful quilt.

I like the samples you have on the last photo especially sample on the right. That quilt is soooooo gorgous!!!

I like the border on the left with the black and the small squares of color. It frames the quilt nicely without overpowering it. Just my novice opinion.

And by the way, that is a beautiful quilt.

Black seems to be your focus fabric, but I think a black border would tend to blur the lines. I'd use one of the brighter colors in the blocks, maybe the one you used for the block center? I don't have the pic up of course and my memory is not real good!

Your quilt is beautiful! I like the border on the left. Thank you for sharing your wonderful quilt.

Beautiful.

I like the first border with the smaller squares of colors. Very pretty quilt.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!Love Love Love the colors!!!

one on the left....great
