I can't believe you did that without a pattern. Great job!
|
Or you can just send it to me with all your extra fabrics and pretend it never happened. I like blue:-)
|
I like the dark HST for the border all the way around...believe me...it will be well worth your efforts!!
|
Borders definitely! And I like what you have picked out for them. The two different blues are great. You should do more "without a pattern", this one came out great!
|
I would go ahead and make the other dark blue blocks,
all the way around and then bind it, if it is big enough by then. I would not put the light blue (that looks almost white) as a first border, because having that much light makes it look like there is a hole in the quilt. It will be much richer if you finish out eh dark blue blocks all the way around. Just my 2 cents :). Have a Blessed Day! |
The 3rd picture, the thin blue border and wider dark blue border.
I would not add more half square triangles, you already have plenty. The borders will work like a frame on a picture and frame the center section of your quilt. |
does it have to be light in the middle
change the blocks and put the dark as the middle of the blocks and than you can add more of the light HST then border it with the darker colors |

I vote for the dark(est) HST blocks all around the top. Toss out your lightest darks and don't use them in the border. It's a really subtle effect, but it works. No lights in the border. If you absolutely can't muster up any enthusiasm for one more HST block, then a border of your darkest blue all around. The dark will make all the lights in the center sparkle. |
I vote for the two borders.

I personally love the border idea... why not use 3 borders? a narrow medium blue, then the light blue you show, and then the dark blue you show? that should get you your nine inches and you can be done!!! Or even just the two you show if that adds enough width. I personally love the use of the light then dark in the borders.
