I think your quilt looks great! My DH thinks we quilters are using borders to much, sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don´t :) And that Halloween fabric is so funny!!!!!G Adrian, Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745490501396673024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-79506605534188905532018-04-15T06:26:38.396-07:002018-04-15T06:26:38.396-07:00I always think quilts need borders (like paintings...I always think quilts need borders (like paintings need frames, right?), so I'd put a narrow one around - maybe a dark like in some of the blocks? <br />And that halloween print is adorable!

However, it's so lovely, whatever you do will work I'm sure.tialyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589595958608901040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-52897861129005967092018-04-12T17:00:13.921-07:002018-04-12T17:00:13.921-07:00Well done getting ahead of the Scrap Happy Day. Lo...Well done getting ahead of the Scrap Happy Day. Love that idea of using broken dishes in place of a focal fabric block.....another good idea to stash away for 'someday.' And I can see why you'd want plenty of that quirky Halloween print. Hope you're feeling better :)<br /> Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-39766885422328472442018-04-12T16:09:49.953-07:002018-04-12T16:09:49.953-07:00It's the Hard Candy quilt!

I see what you mean about looking a tiny bit unfinished, but I think a generous binding in a strong colour might enclose and terminate the 'open' effect of the edge. That Halloween print is crazy and would make a great backing!Kate Chiconihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652877007861293620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-77598300192619190132018-04-12T14:56:44.797-07:002018-04-12T14:56:44.797-07:00I would be tempted to add a border of the same fab...I would be tempted to add a border of the same fabric as the sashing (but without any more cornerstones) so the quilt can float inside. If that doesn't work, then a skinny stop border of the sashing fabric and a border with the same colors as the cornerstones (which look to be a reddish orange - which would tie in nicely to the orange in the backing). Good luck!Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.com
