My design wall has a herd of elephants. As is, this quilt is 58 x 70. But I keep thinking it needs an outer border. What do you think? Border or no border?
I'm in the it depends camp on the border. I like a frame around my quilts, but it would have to be the right fabric for this one. It's really fun as it is.
If it is a donation one I'd leave as is. If it is yours to keep do you have fabric picked out, or at least a color you might want as a border? Perhaps interview a few fabrics and see what you think.
I think an outside border would be good. Maybe a light-background with multicolor polka dots, to pick up on the colorful stripes in the sashing and the polka dot elephants.
If this were my project, I'd add an outside border but I have no idea what color or type. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI think one more border would look good but it is your quilt - you do what you feel is right.
