I've been monkeying around with border ideas for another Kim Brackett quilt, which is currently being completed. Here are the EQ mock ups to illustrate; I'll post a photo later.
This is the design:
Really nice but it needed to be MUCH bigger. I added another vertical row and debated making it a 5 x 5 instead of a 4 x 4 design, but I was running out of the batiks I was using in the blocks. I had plenty of the border fabric however so I brainstormed how to bring it into the quilt. This is what I came up with:
I like how the outer points match the wide border and look like it is poking through the maroon inner border. It also makes the quilt king size. I love it!
Here is the quilt as it stands (before the rest of the blocks with the border fabric were made, and also before I changed my border fabric selection):
