Advises please! What quilt border would fit?
1 Attachment(s)
Hey all! Can you please give me an advice what border would look good to that quilt? I need to attach at least 10 inches to each side. So it will come out to the size i want after quilting. What colour? Would you add appliques to border, too? Thanks :)

Sorry, no advice on the border but have to say that is one beautiful quilt. Love the colors too.

I would put a moderate inner border of the darker color, and then a wider one for the outside. You could put corner squares to break it up a bit. That way you get the ten inches that you need, but it is not all one piece.

The 4 blocks inside the quilt would make great border in keeping with the theme. (hashtags #)

I would also put a narrow (1-2 inch) inner border of the dark purple fabric to "frame" it. For the larger outer border consider a small print pattern fabric with the same purple and white colors. Since your beautiful quilt body is all solids I think a subtle print on the outside border (and back and binding) would balance it nicely.

I would do a large purple border and do a pretty scalloped edge to match the scallops in the quilt. In the center if each of the purple scalloped I would repeat the appliqué motif but in white. Pretty purple and white top!

How big are your blocks? I think it would look nice if you just mirrored the border with the scallops and corner blocks--if the blocks are the size you need of course. I don't think a plain border would look right, especially with all the lovely applique in the body. Beautiful quilt by the way.

I like the idea of corner squares. I like the darkest color fabric on the outside edge. Your quilt is beautiful.
