That bowl of 2-inch half-square triangles I wrote about earlier this month is still full...even after making two more doll quilts/wallhangings. I am having a difficult time deciding on a border for this blue one...
a green border...
a blue...
or do a bit of contrast with a golden brown....
Any thoughts?
New Thought (thanks to first comment!) I've added a purple option...isn't it funny how in my mind this was the "blue" quilt and I had totally blocked the purple hst's...brain-freeze!)
I have another one done in blues, purples and golds with black accent blocks...that needs a border too but I think I have an idea for that one.

Some of your blues seem to have a purple tinge to them - can you try a purple border?
Somthing light? With a touch of blue maybe.
And then some warm red, or possibly pink. or purple. Hmmm, this is a tough one.
Yup - I like the purple border. Of course, I just biggie sized the purple photo and realized one of the blocks has some orange - that might be nice (and loud) as well...
I would do a bright yellow. But a more pale canary yellow would probably work too.

I like the purple best too. If I were doing it I might add a narrow (piping narrow) of a red violet , hot pink or gold. Like the beveled edge of a mat on a watercolor.

Purple please. Hope you are doing well.
Purple! ;o)
My first reaction was to vote for the brown border, because this is your quilt not mine. But then Paul suggested yellow, which is what I would absolutely do, because blue and yellow are my two favorite colors. So now my vote is for a yellow border!
What about a multi color high contrast- stripe or Kaffe?
Isn't it fun to have so many great choices? ...and suggestions ;-)
I really like the golden brown. For me it makes the center just pop right out!
I vote for purple! Darling little quilt whichever border you choose.
Purple gets my vote, but I like the idea of a narrow inner border. I would choose a light color--the lavender maybe, or light blue.
I agree with purple! It will bring out those purples even more. I love your little quilts. K-
I like the purple border!!!
Tough decision, but I like both the blue and the purple borders. Your hst's look fabulous the way you've set them.
