The color BLACK: A unifying choice

Do you ever get stuck picking out a border color for your quilt top? I know I do, especially when the top has numerous colors and varied fabric styles – descriptive term super-scrappy comes to mind.

This border dilemna is most common in donation or club project quilts like the one Dawn describes in her blog Spring Water Designs.

The single color that I have found to work is BLACK.

I discoverd the black border as a unifying principle in the top I made for my club, see earlier post Spring Quilt Festival: My Entry.

I always admire the work quilters do in service of others. Go here to find out more about the Mountain Baby Quilts project. There’s good work going on in Maryland, USA. Keep on quilting!
