Border Suggestions Please
I'm stuck, I have the body of Jenna's quilt made, but it still needs to be bigger. It currently measures approx 74 inch square and I want it to be able to fit nicely on a queen sized bed. It obviously needs another border or maybe two. I have plenty of fabric to play with, I had thought of adding a nine patch border but that would make it too big and it would still end up square, which won't fit on a queen bed. I then thought of a four patch border and decided what the heck lets ask for some ideas.
These are the first two borders I've added, a plain strip with a Seminole border.
What would you suggest to make it the right size?
Happy Stitching.

What about nine patch set on point on the sides you want to make longer to make the quilt a rectangle and then another white border and then flying geese all round the outside? Whew! As much work as another quilt...
Hm....gosh it's pretty! I like Shari's suggestion a lot.
"Piano Keys" are always effective. I'm not sure that's an official term, but it's just long, skinny rectangles sewn perpendicular to the quilt. You could add the just at the top and the bottom to make the quilt rectangle. I think that would look really nice.
And I was going to say piano key, but see Linda wrote that ahead of me. I did that on a quilt where I just put it on three sides and then made pillow shams to match.
Linda~ I love the colors sorry I am no help in helping you but I am truly not a quilter so would have NO idea :) I am pretty sure whatever you do will end up being beautiful like all of your work.

I would try flying geese or Shari's idea.
