First of all, I LOVE your quilt! Beautiful work and choice of fabrics, and you can never go wrong with stars! I agree with Jenn, I would put a thin white border and then another border, (possibly one of the medium to darker blues or reds). My eye always wants the border to be like a frame is to a picture. Can't wait to see it finished. Good job! BTW, your granny square scarfs are so fabulous! Have you seen the G.S pillows on selvageblog.blogspot.com? They are so fun and colorful.
Oh yes a thin solid border would be great and then a scrappy border around that, maybe! Oh I don't know! I am sure whatever you decide will be amazing and perfect!
Trish I have to agree with most of the other gals. Your stars are too special to just accent with white alone. I think a patchwork of the same fabrics or one of the brighter fabrics alone. I'm sure whatever you decide-it will be just right!
I'll add my two cents worth and agree with everyone, white with a darker border. This is the same dilemma I have been struggling with for my star quilt, done in reds and blues like yours, very little white. So you go trish so I can see how it looks;>)
Hi Trish! What a beautiful quilt! I would put a thin (11/2") dark blue border and then either a red or white thicker (3 or 4") outside of that. I LOVE those little cookies. How creative.
It is gorgeous! I think a thin white border, and then a navy, and then another white would look great. But who knows? You have alot of great advice from more experienced quilters. :)
I would definitely put a thin white border to outline and define it AND THEN another border, a bit thicker in a darker color or print. Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteIt will look nice whatever you decide. I am not a fan of borders in general, though :)
ReplyDeleteIts darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat about a scrappy boarder?

ReplyDeleteI agree with the other ladies. A white border, and then either a scrappy or red gingham check binding. I love this!!
ReplyDeleteA white border definitely Trish and a pretty red binding.
