Help me make this quilt bigger
Hi all
I started making this top and been stopped dead in my steps .
Not sure what color to put all around it to make it larger .
Was thinking black but i,m trying to stop my self from always using black.
Any ideas.

I agree that you need black at the ends and sides of the strips before you use anything else. After that, I would put strips of green, blue, pink and gold because they seem to be the most noticeable colours ( depending on what my screen is showing me) around the black to see which one makes everything pop. But that's just me. I'm sure others would approach it differently.

I agree with the rest that a black stop border the same width as your sashing is what it needs first.
Then, if there's a certain color you want to emphasize, do a wide (maybe 5") border in that , and finish
with black binding. Personally the lilac is speaking to me.
