Zora Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Its hard to tell from the picture..black inner border, maybe navy or burgundy. Yellow would work, or dark green. It depends on what some of the dark colors in the outside row of blocks are. If you used a yellow inner border, a navy outer border would be good. If you use a dark inner border, a yellow outer border would work. Personally, I like a dark outer border to "control and contain" all those colors, so I'd choose a navy or black (ish) outer border and a medium yellow or green inner border.

chermitch4 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 What were your colors for your wedding?Maybe those would work and I think that would be neat!!!!!Otherwise I think a yellow inner border and a blue or green outer border would look cool!!!You know and orange inner border and a green outer border would look cool too!!!

Stagecl Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I think I would take the quilt top down to the shop and test out some fabrics. Something will catch your eye and you will know it is the right piece or pieces. It may not need an inner border just a larger outer border. But trying out fabrics at the shop will help you decide what to do and with what fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-Jane Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Congrats!!! I am thinking a darker burnt orange inner border and navy blue outer border - so many lovely colors - really just about anything would work- just choose what colors you want to pop!!
