This is the chevron quilt I made for my son he picked out the colors and lay out. He wants the border to be black and I am not sure that will mesh well with it, or maybe the black will make the other colors pop. Maybe no border and bind it in black? Thoughts?
I think a thin black border should add to the quilt, that AL READY is beautiful!!
Perhaps a white narrow and a wider black.......?
Looks very nice!! :)
I think black will work well!
Looks great!
Lay some black fabric along the edges and audition it. Then you can determine if it will work or not. You could also lay some white and then some black as suggested above. This is the technique that I use to pick my borders and it hasn't failed me yet!
You have made a beautiful quilt top and I think as said above lay out the fabric and see what pops for you.
I think a thin black border and a wider white border would look striking.
Oh Dena, he made some great color choices! The mottled looking red, blue, orange I think he's right about the black border too! Very nice looking Chevrons already. Great job

Black will DEFINITELY make the colors pop.
I've learned that when making quilts for kids, they have a very finely tuned sense when it comes to color selection. My niece picked out five different fabrics for the quilt I made her that I thought looked absolutely HORRID; however, when I pieced the quilt together, the fabrics worked very well together!
I think black will look fine. More importantly, though, is that that's what HE wants.
Very pretty. I think a thin black border between two white borders would pop. Definitely audition the fabrics and width.
His quilt is lovely and he made great color choices! I would lay out strips of a few colors (one being the black he chose) next to it so he can see what it will look like with different choices and choose the one he likes the best.
I would use the black, the colors will pop. Plus Ive learned with the monsters to just make it their way even when I'm not sure......it's so hard I know, I've been making purses with my daughter the last couple days for her friends birthdays and she wants to sew the whole thing and pick the layouts, I'm just instructing her how to put it together lol
I think the idea of laying out your colours is a good idea. Who knows - he may decide he wants blue instead!
I agree that a thin black line somewhere around the edge will make it pop and maybe a wider white strip too.
What ever you decide it will look lovely - those chevrons are really eye-catching
We put colorful prints in black frames to make them stand out. Looks like this would work in quilts too. Nicely done.
Wow this is beautiful! I think a black border will make the whole thing pop. No matter what you decide it's already beautiful so either way will work :)
