I made this baby quilt but am debating still about the border. Attachment 38203
It is similar to this other quilt I made but visually I like the red argyle border better, but can no longer find this fabric.
Attachment 38204
So, do I still with the orangy argyle or find something else?
Hey Bella,
You know that border distracted me from seeing the kids playing in the fabric. One of the kids has a striped PJ's, and another a check shirt so maybe that is why the print takes away? I like the solid Black inner border. Do you have a stripe or maybe a red or tan solid for the 2nd?
Just tossing thoughts out!

I 2nd the black border.
I also 2nd a solid for that 2nd quilt.
I would say a solid is better.
I like it just as it is - the first one has a solid orange border - at first I couldn't tell the difference - I think they are both perfect!!!
I like the black bordered one. The corners on the other one I find distracting.
Dear Bella,
I also like the black boarder, but I think, as a second boarder you need something more colourful, it seems the orange patternd boarder takes away the inner colour. Maybe a clear strong red would let the quilt shine. (I don`t know how to better express).
Does it go better with your mother? Sorry, I was not here the last days and could not follow, but you are always in my mind.
MAny regards

Great minds think alike. I totally agree. I love a true Argyle... which is what you have on your quilt. It's adorable!Quote:

I also like it just as it is:) Very cute. I had to look close to realize the argyle's were different and not just inner borders.
I love them both! Is that a Michael Miller fabric? I have a cowboy print that looks so simular. Now you gave me an idea how to use it!
I think the black is too bold for a kid's blanket. I know, I don't know anything so I shouldn't say anything, but that JMHO. I like the orange solid border because it's bright and cheerful. I think if it were me, that I would change the black into something more kid friendly. JMHO.
I like the black with orange argyle fabric, but I wouldnt do the four patch. Just to make it a bit different. I like how it looks with the black border, it could use something extra but of course I dont know what it is exactly. Sorry about that.
I love it just the way it is!
Me,too, I like a,solid...I,find the argyle a bit busy with the print in the middle.. It doesn't seem to let the eye rest anywhere..sorry...just trying to be helpful!
Jeanne, don't worry!! We all get to toss out our thoughts -- they can take or leave them hehehe But it is nice we all chip in and see what we think -- helps creativity keep moving. I hadn't thought about how the black would be on a kids, it looked good but maybe for a Kids you are right?Quote:
