That's what I was thinking. Like a thin yellow border then either blue or green.

I was thinking of a white small inner border, then a larger border of one of the colors of the quilt, or even one of the colors of the cats.

Love the quilt! Love the kitties!

I think your blue in a narrow border followed by the cat print in a wider border. Its a very pretty quilt, will be nice however you finish it.

It is called What Knots? made by the staff at Creations SEWClever, Cillicothe, Ohio. (I copied that from the book.) I got it from a book called Mysery Quilts by Rita Fishel.

This is the third quilt I have made of this pattern, and I really like the finished products. It is the "deciding" that bogs me down....which fabric, which border, which binding....

I would pick up the yellow for a narrow inner border, and use the black for a slightly larger border to frame it all. That would visually balance the three major colors.
