Don't know what to do about the borders. They are about 9 1/2 inches wide and the quilting design is not coming to my mind very quickly. I would like to get this done.
I am at a stand still. I have about quilted all I can quilt on this quilt accept the borders. I am to the weakest point in the quilt. I think the borders get more wear and tear then the middle of the quilt and I never know what to do about quilting them. I have 16 more of the 5 1/2 inch square to complete and then onto the dreaded borders. It is a pretty masculine looking quilt it is going to be used on the couch and lots of stress on the seams. I think I am going to see if I draw a few ideas, but then I am not a good drawer. Oh well! Chris Any suggestions will be looked at .

I love your nine patch quilt....could you tell me where you got the pattern....I have alot of nine patch blocks I need to make a quilt with. What size were your squzres....I used 2 1/2 inch squares to make my nine patch. Again a very lovely quilt and thank you for info on the pattern you used.
You could quilt in the ditch along each of the colors and then draw lines or use tape to continue the diagonal lines of the 9 patches out into the borders. It will give you a triangle pattern.
