Quote: I don't love the geometric/modern look of the quilt and the more traditional, floral border. I think a border in the maroon solid would be perfect, or maybe a slightly darker complimentary color - a dark neutral grey?. The quilt is gorgeous!!
I totally agree... The color is fine but the contemporary design in the quilt does not go with the floral design in the border print. Perhaps a stripe or even a plaid in the same colors might work. The quilt is beautiful... I just don't like the flowers with it. Do you have enough of the solid fabric in the quilt to make even a small first border to frame it? I'd like a solid maroon small border then some contemporary print for the outside border. Do you have enough scraps to make some sort of pieced border for the second border? But as I said earlier, I love the quilt and you did a great job on it.
