Thanks for the compliment about the rust fabric. I started to work on this quilt the day before Mothers day, while my son was away. On Mothers day, he gave me a few fat quarters from JoAnn's, including the rust. I was so pleased that he got me fabric that I decided right then I would work the rust into the quilt. I didn't have enough to do a full border, so I settled on framing just the corners!! Improvisation! However, I can go to JoAnn's and see if they sell that fabric on the bolt.

I don't have enough of the large focus fabric for a border, but I know the manufacturer and could buy online in a heart beat.
Thanks for all ideas!

recently, I haven't put borders on my quilt. don't feel obligated to add a border if it is already a good size for what you want. It is a beautiful quilt. You might just want to use that fabric for the binding instead.

Try the yellow print you already have in there.

That's such a nice story about your son ... and quickly using his fabric in your quilt! I'm sure that'll help encourage him to do it again ... and again ... and again!!! :)

I actually like the border you have laid out. That dark color frame sit all in. I think it all depends on what you are going for....Do you want it kind of soft looking or do you want some definition?

No I think it goes well. It draws your eye out to the edge of the quilt, which is what you want. It is a lovely design and the colors work well. Well done. :thumbup:

Well, the dark border looks good, but something else might also. This is a GREAT quilt. Love the colors and design. Please be sure to post a puc once it's quilted.
