Border question
#1
As many of you may already know I am finishing this quilt for my sister who has Dementia---it's for her daughter.
I only have so much material left but enough of the cream,so I have decided to put a wide cream border them a scrappy binding of all the colours
Question is would a 5" cream border be too wide??

Have you tried letting us search for more of the gold and blue (the one w/ circles) that you have laid out as borders in the photo? They are so much more effective as outer borders than the cream would be. The cream would be fine but the gold and blue are gorgeous. We're really pretty good at finding 'older' fabrics around here ya know. ;) Want to give it a try? Do you have the selvege info from them? It's a beautiful top.

The cream would be my last choice for the border just because I don't really like light colored borders that much. Maybe you could find a fabric with some of those colors in it and use a totally different fabric for the border. Like a floral with the blue and yellow colors in it or a retro with those colors. If you use the cream could you maybe do some applique here and there in the colors? I am sure whatever you decide it is going to turn out very nice!
