What kind of border
#14
When I make a busy or scrappy quilt I always put a plain border to stop the action of the quilt. Sometimes that is the only border and sometimes it is the first border and I follow it with a print that compliments the quilt. I always put borders on my quilts but that is a matter of personal preference rather than something you have to do.

Gray, I think is too contemporary, where this scrappy is truly traditional....so IMHO, either no border or as suggested, a narrow stop sash then a border, both in solids....but I also think no scallops on this one...let the scrappiness be the focal point......great job!

I like borders, I think it frames and finishes the quilt. Yours is so fun and pretty. Good job on the scrappy. I really studied the blocks and like how you incorporated the little squares of the same fabric as the big squares. Takes a lot of time. But so worth it. Congrats on a job well done!
