Here is a D9P I'm making for my SIL for Christmas. I'm so bad at putting colors together so I'm having a hard time deciding what color border (and binding) to use. She's not really a "pink" kinda gal so I'll rule that color out. Any suggesstions?

I got a sewing machine for my husband. Good trade, huh!?!
I like the deep pink in there or white...nice bright colors!
To quilt or not to quilt?.....what a ridiculous question!
Check out all things quilty at my blog here: http://www.sassyquilter.com
I really like the darker blue floral print. How about a 2 inch white or off white border and then a wider floral border with the same floral print used for binding.

...quilters come with strings attached
(boy aint that the darn truth !!)
I really like Mia's idea. I bet that would be so pretty.
I agree with Mia in that I'd double border, but I'm a big fan of double borders. I'd use a super pale yellow or off white for the first thin border and probably one of the green prints for the outside border. If I had scraps left over, I'd probably use them to piece binding, but if not, I'd go with a plaid in the same color as the outside border.
Can't wait to see it done! It's so pretty. Is that Garden Song?
I'm drawn to the blues - the one that's sort of periwinkle color. I'd "splash it up" with some of the bright yellow-y orange - just a small bit.
Be warned. I am BORED.
This could be dangerous.
When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
They are usually 90 degrees.
A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
Thanks. I like both Mia's and Summer's ideas. Yes, it's Garden Song by Benatex. I think my LQS carries that line.

I think that deep red would help all the other colors pop!![]()

Very nice, Nancy! Agree on the double border....maybe light gold and darker blue?
