Borders
Unnamed Block from 4-Patch Units
I think this wall hanging from 21 December 2010 could be improved by adding a border.
Before I add a border, what if I finish the squares around the perimeter?
This looks more complete to me.
What if I add a narrow black border?
I think it needs more.
What if I add a second black border?
This looks more like a border.
What if I replace the white with the medium green?
This has a warmer feel.
What if I replace the medium green in the border with a dark green?
What if I replace the dark green in the border with black?
What if I lighten the light green, the dark green and the purple?
This is not as warm as it was, but the center seems to glow more than before.
What if I replace the plain black border with one that uses design elements from the main motif?
What if I replace the purple in the border with dark green?
Borders can sometimes make or break a quilt. For examples of other borders that I have tried on various quilts go to My Posts by Subject in the sidebar on the right and click on Borders.
