    Maybe a baby quilt. That gives me many ideas?

    That is such a cute quilt. I agree and red might be a better border.

    Great quilt :) Colors from the quilt top should be carried over into the border. The yellow seems to stand alone.
    Maybe a narrow border in a darker solid color (to separate a pieced border) carried from the quilt top. Then maybe add a pieced border the same as your squares in the quilt top. This pieced border then will tie the quilt together. Lay a few fabrics (maybe a red or a blue) along side the quilt covering the yellow border and see the differences. I would make my binding the same color as the narrow border. This is just my opinion and what I would do. But it is your quilt, the final decision should be yours. :thumbup:

    I agree red boarder, if you have any red material put it next to the quilt and you will see how your embroidery will stand out. It's a beatiful quilt.

    It sure is a pretty quilt! I also think red would be my choice, but I still love it the way it is!

    Love the embroidered Sue's. I'm not really digging the border color, either. Oh, and by the way, those are 16 patch blocks. 9 Patch blocks are 3 by 3. Yours appear to be 4 by 4, making them 16 patch.
