This is the quilt top I made from the $3 scrap bag from the quilt show in Pigeon Forge. It is a large throw size. The blocks are 5 inch squares. I just had to add the white fabric.
Now what I am asking is - do you think I need another white border. I think it looks unfinished and I have enough white fabric to add a border strip. If so do you think it should be the width of the other strips or should I made the border strip wider?
I do value the opinions of all you ladies and gentlemen out there in blog land. Let me hear from you!

I love it, and think it will look really nice with a white border so the colors will float freely, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt! Don't you love it when you make something so wonderful that cost virtually nothing?
ReplyDeleteI think a white border would be a good addition to this quilt. It would make a frame for those pretty colors.
White border of same width as sashing and, if you have pieces left, pieced binding using the leftovers. I like it. Simple and soothing.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! Definitely a white border. Lay the white behind the quilt to guague how wide 'looks' right to you. Try both strip widthh and wider. You will find it will speak to you! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in this quilt top. I think it needs the white border, probably the same width as the sashing. I like Deanna's suggestion of pieced binding in the same fabrics if you have enough left.
ReplyDeleteI agree that a border like the sashing will finish it nicely! I have recently started using more white in my quilts and love how it makes the colors pop. Beautiful quilt and great price!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! Beautiful colors, clean and crisp looking. Great job!

I think a white border would be great, then I think blue binding from one of the blues in the quilt would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think that instead of a white border, you should just do a white binding. I say cut four inch strips of white and make a french double fold that comes out to a one inch binding. That will finish the look and bind it at the same time.
