this is D9P quilt top I'm making for a christmas present for a dog lover, of course! Could use suggestions for border. Have plenty of fabrics used left. Thanks in advance for looking and appreciate advice. Hugs and happy quilting to all!

Beings its for a dog lover (thanks I'll be waiting for a box :D )
I'd use the dog fabric. :thumbup:

I was thinking of red (orange?) or brown and red. Or gold and then brown or the dog fabric.

What a fun quilt. I love that dog fabric.
Personally, I'd go with a golden brown border, very thin, and then a wider border in the orangy brown and use the stripe or dark brown for the binding. We all see things so different. I'd be afraid of a white border with so many other darker colors. The quilt is going to be great whatever border you choose.

I think I would use all the solid colors in the border in blocks (rectanular) and bind with the sripe. Or a solid border of one color and bind in stripe.

What a great quilt. I would do a thin dark border and then use the orange or gold with the stripe as the binding. I think white would detract from the quilt and the dogs.

love it so far

Very nice. I'm a dog lover. I looked as close as I could and didn't see any Airedales in that quilt. I think I have that fabric (no Airedales). I used it for a quilt for a 'mutt' rescue.
I would like to see about a two inch black border and then another wider border of red.
