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?
ReplyDeleteSomthing light? With a touch of blue maybe.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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...
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletePurple! ;o)
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat about a multi color high contrast- stripe or Kaffe?
ReplyDeleteIsn'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!
ReplyDeleteI vote for purple! Darling little quilt whichever border you choose.
ReplyDeletePurple 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.
ReplyDeleteI agree with purple! It will bring out those purples even more. I love your little quilts. K-
ReplyDeleteI like the purple border!!!
ReplyDeleteTough decision, but I like both the blue and the purple borders. Your hst's look fabulous the way you've set them.
