I don't have any border ideas, but would tend to have a plainer border so that it would not compete with the chains.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194723727404273933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620058085331991297.post-51677119317422070512011-06-06T11:37:42.879-04:002011-06-06T11:37:42.879-04:00If you really want to do some more work, search fo...If you really want to do some more work, search for and look at the jewel box quilt on my blog - it'd be a pieced, scrappy way to border it.<br /><br />www.forestjane.blogspot.comForestJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536396154296555583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620058085331991297.post-81739034763184965052011-06-06T09:08:47.157-04:002011-06-06T09:08:47.157-04:00love the quilt. it is on my to do list. border s...love the quilt. it is on my to do list. border suggestion. Pick a color, red or blue or green, a color you want to accent. I like red. cut 6 inch wide sections 12 by 15 or 18 in length and sew together. make border from this. I do this alot on scrappy quilts. look at my blog on March 25 here,http://jacksonpatchquilting.blogspot.com/2011/03/another-one-bites-dust.html there is a picture of my Carolina Christmas with this kind of border.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177707462456207332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620058085331991297.post-68619317254836887752011-06-06T08:54:17.360-04:002011-06-06T08:54:17.360-04:00Lovely top.

('cause there's no way I'd cut just for this. Aaaagh!)<br />For the border, here is my suggestion: a 2 1/2" white first border, a scrappy 4 patch border of 2" squares, & a 3rd border of white at 2 1/2", then bind in scrappy reds, to really accent all that sweet red in the body of the quilt...skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335377567158914606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620058085331991297.post-18225965613620473352011-06-06T03:27:17.055-04:002011-06-06T03:27:17.055-04:00I also have no border ideas.
