Hi Cuties!

I just finished my very first quilt top. All I need to do is quilt & border it. Any suggestions on a border color? I'm really happy with how it came out.

You have all been very inspiring. I don't go a day without visiting cuteembroidery.com! Thank you all!

looks just great. If I had to make one observation, it would be that next time - make your wadding and backing fabric 4" or so bigger than your quilt top. Then you will be able to add a larger border, or maybe a sashing and a border, before you put on the final binding.

Wow , well done you, it looks fantastic, and I think pick a solid colour from the quilt for the edge.
Hugs pam.

I love it. Reminds me of both Africa and Pennslyvania Dutch because of the bright colors. I personally would move away from the modern and border with a black based small flower, but that is sooo contrary to what you've achieved!

Good Job...first one is always very special...I would agree with cj2sew...pick on of the solid colors, make a 2 or 2-1/2 inch border and then finish with a 4 or 4-1/2 inch border...then bind it with another one of the colors...good job!

Love your fabric choice. I would choose my favorite color and make a 2 1/2 in border then take black and make a 4 1/2 in. border. Or what ever colors you like.You really did a great job.
