Closer…

Art & Craft, Sewing

I’ve decided to make 4 more 15″ x 15″ blocks so it will be longer.

It is so very bright.  Which I love.

What color would you use for the border?

    I’d use a brown/dark brown so that the gorgeous colors are the main focus. I’m not a quilter, so take what I say with a grain of salt ;) It’s lovely whatever you do with it!

    This is going to look so great all together. Bright and scrappy and old fashioned, I love that. I’d probably border it in white or off white. Or maybe even, like, mint green, to give it an extra boost of old fashioned.

    Dear Kristena,
    I love your beautiful quilt!!! The colors are so pretty! I love pink, so I think that would make a lovely border, but you should use your favorite color! The embroidered pillow is so pretty, as is your bed and table.
    Love, Paula

    were those supposed to be 15″ squares?? I’m sure I made mine 12″… or are you making them all bigger by just a little to stretch it a bit?

    And I still love how it’s turning out. I like the idea of the a cream or white border… although you could go with anything and it would look superb. :)

    I’ll weigh in on light blue just to be different :-)

    i would say white - so it doesnt take away from the quilt.

    Love your quilt. I’m not a quilter but I love it as it is! I would chose cream, but I suspect the border is a preference.

    […] Oh, and I did want to tell you that I made a little more progress on the scrappy log cabin quilt.  Thank you for your ideas on the border color - great suggestions!  I’m leaning towards […]
