    Default Sisters quilt-making progress slowly

    Finally, a chance to work on my sisters quilt again. And am wondering if the next border 4" should be dark blue again or back to white or maybe one of the fabrics in the quilt. I have loads of all the prints. Both obviously match it is more of a color balance thing, which is my weakest part of quilting skills. This border will be the last before binding.

    I agree with the others, the dark blue will be just the frame it needs to set off your pretty blocks.

    I vote for the dark blue also to frame the rest of the quilt.

    I vote for the blue again too. The other prints would be pretty too but the inner blocks will bleed into the border print in spots if you reuse a print. Pretty top!

    I think the dark blue would be the best choice.
