    So I've gotten this far with the Lone Star and would like to make it bigger. I was thinking a 10" border on two sides (and a 5" border on the other two sides). I would applique a type of swag or ribbon on the borders and would then need to add something to go along with the swag. I don't necessarily want to do more stars on the borders. Thoughts from all my creative quilting friends?? :)

    I swags would certainly be ein keeping with the quilt thusfar.Have you looked up (Quilt Boarders)on this site or any of the search engines? They might have options The top is certainly beautiful so far!

    Quilterscache has several borders that I would love to use on some of my quilts. I usually just go with plain borders, but I love some of these.

    I have seen the lone Star with a border around it with a vine and applique flowers that looked quite lovely.. what technique do you favor?

    I did the curling ribbon on one of my quilts, it really gave it some pizzazz, BTW I adore your quilt.

    Once the swags are on, it will give a whole different perspective. Can you show it then?
