Looking for Advice!
I finished this hand applique Stonehenge quilt and now need to decide on a border. I am leaning towards a dark green border with a Celtic braid on the dark green. I would use the light beige fabric for the braid. My DD suggests a lighter green but in the same colorway as the dark green for the braid! Any thoughts will be appreciated! Thanks for looking Luann

Actually I think I prefer your idea - The darker green broken up by the beige sounds fantastic - but your daughters suggestion doesn't sound bad either. For me, it would defend on the choice of fabric.
By the way - the quilt looks great - I can not wait to see the finished quilt!

Ditto using a thin border. Perhaps using the fabric from the stones. I wouldn't add a different color but something to separate the greens would be good. I like your idea of using the dark green as well.

The size of this quilt is 21" by 28". I decided on a medium dark brown border 3" wide. I will use the tan stonehenge fabric for the 1/4" braid. I think it will set it off nicely. If I only do Celtic braid or circles in the corners it may not over power the center. Luann
