I was on Bonnie Hunters blog and saw Dancing Nines and I thought I needed to try it in 30's reproduction.
If no border should I use a scrappy binding or what?

A Starting Addiction/not finish
I have given up my Facebook games for a while. They are an addiction and very time consuming. That being said I now have more time to sew, read other blogs and view pinterest. This is not necessarily a good thing, because I see too many things I want to try. Notice I didn't say finish. That is another issue on which I am working.
I was on Bonnie Hunters blog and saw Dancing Nines and I thought I needed to try it in 30's reproduction.
It is a scrappy nine patch framed on two sides. My dilemma now is the border. Everything I have seems to take away from the overall soft feel of the top. Should I just make more blocks to make it larger or keep looking for a border?
Here are a few border auditions. Nothing feels right.

Try a border that is solid that matches a color in the quilt. All the ones you posted seem a bit busy to me. Maybe not as wide as the pieces you have up.
ReplyDeleteI like your blocks but can't tell what the background is between them. If they are set with white or off-white, you could put a border of the same color on the outside and then do a piano key type scrappy border as the final border incorporating more of your scraps. You'll find what feels right for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pale yellow and I like the piano key idea thanks
ReplyDeleteI would just make it larger with more blocks and then bind it in the soft yellow...You'll figure it out :) I love the softness of the look.
