Awesome quilt. Solid side bordes would look great.

Wonderful job! I had a very experienced quilter friend do this KF diamond quilt--she said it was a bear cause of all that bias. I think your white headboard will really offset the KF prints and maybe you will want to put the solid border and then a white dust ruffle?

OHHHH didn't even think about my longarmer and the size! Thank you for pointing this out. I will check with her today BEFORE I add the borders!

Yes, this was a bit of a bear. I have been working on this quilt (with only a few side tangent projects-ha ha) for the last 9 months. This is my first quilt of this size. I think it taught me to stick with smaller projects! I am going to reupholster the headboard while this quilt is at the longarmer. And I like your suggestion of the white dust ruffle. Easy to find ready made so I won't have to make it!
