    Default chevron

    Just about finished the top, not to sure about the sides, I could put white triangles down the side as on the right side of photo or just trim through as the left side.The top and bottom have the white triangles.Will be only binding the quilt. Would like your thoughts.

    If it's wide enough for you I would trim it like the left. Pretty colors!

    Just measured it without the white triangles, I think I will need them, it's not quiet as wide as I had planned for some reason, length is right tho.

    From the look of it, you might have to do Y seams to put the triangles in now. Another option is to trim it up an put a white border to get the width you need.

    This is really pretty and the colors are very fresh and happy. If you feel you need it a little wider, I would trim the edge and put on a white border - just because that seems easier than all those triangles....

    I love how fresh and pretty your chevron quilt is.... Great job.

    I don't think I would go yo all the trouble if doung those triangles....unless it's something you really love.... A white border would work.... Or... Just trim the dudes, and use white for the binding... I like that idea...

    If you have enough of the fabrics to do so, my recommendation is to make a narrow white inner border around the quilt and use one of the other fabrics to make a wide outer border to bring the quilt to the necessary size. Using the background fabric to frame a design before adding the border creates a nice finish for a block design, like the chevrons, that has a lot of movement.

    I would trim the edges and add a border.
    It's a pretty quilt. Chevron is on my list of 'wanna-try' patterns.
