Default A simple quilt in blue

The body is sewn together and need to decide how I want the border done. I have the border print for the collection but it could go a few different ways.

I too like the middle one, but if I were doing it, would probably not go that much trouble as with matching stripes, angles, etc. Does this quilt pattern have a name? It would be perfect for the donation quilts we make. I have been mentally gathering fabric for Warm Wishes, which your blue quilt reminds me of.

No name that I know of. I just designed it real quick with big blocks because I wanted to just show the large motifs in the fabric. It's like Warm Wishes except for two strips instead of three.

Lovely quilt. I like the third example better for the border since it is a bed quilt. The other two would look good on a wall hanging. JMO

I like the 3rd picture. I think the width & simplicity of it match the design of the quilt body better.
