    Default Suggestions for border?

    I am making this quilt for my son's Trap team to raffle. I started with Fat Quarter's of the Snoopy fabric, and remnants of the yellow and green. Right now it measures 21x44. I have either a regular royal blue, or possibly enough yellow for the back. I only have 4- 3 1/2"x44, and 3-3 1/2x22" strips of green left. What would you suggest for the border?

    Black always makes things pop, so I would suggest black.

    It seems like you have enough of the green for borders if you add corner stones. Are you trying to only use the fabrics you mentioned or are you open to using something else? If you're looking to finish it in a hurry you could use some of the backing fabric for the cornerstones and then you'd definitely have enough of the green for the borders. I like Bella's idea, though. I think black would look good and would pick up the black in the snoopy fabric.

    Yes I am trying to finish it in a hurry, I am hoping to do the raffle on Sunday! I really like the corner stone idea, it will tie in the blue, and what do you think about cutting down the middle and adding a strip of blue there? I am really needing to widen it out, as it is so narrow right now.
