I definitely recommend the ladybug border, but I think I would add a narrow stopping border first, so that your ladybug fabrics in the block wouldn’t touch the border fabric. I’m especially grateful for your idea of matching the exact size of the charm pack pieces when you cut your additional squares. Thanks for your channel. I learn a lot. I recently made your “argyle” baby quilt!

[@cindyg5064]

I agree!

[@verenavogt7300]

I agree. Small white/off white border and than the ladybug border!

[@CatsAndQuilts59]

@@verenavogt7300 I agree -- totally! That would be beautiful.

[@sheilacripps9340]

I agree!

[@carolfalcione4511]

I agree!

[@beverleybrowning3480]

I agree with the comment about adding a thin white border to "float" the centre, then add the lady bug border. Will look terrific! Hope you show us how you quilt it. Here's from fellow 🇨🇦🍁

[@kittyhettinger6091]

I love your suggestion for creasing the center block. That will be a big time saver. Also, I vote for borders.

[@sullysmom5050]

I love the fabric and personally I’d add a border. Everyone can always use a little more quilt, whether it’s for a baby or just on your lap.

[@susanshaffer3855]

I would add a 1.5" light or white border then a 6" red border. Lovely quilt!

[@virginiamiller3372]

I would add a small white border and then the large red. I like your different layouts.

[@dominiqueb.-guichard59]

I agree!

[@jackiematsumura2649]

Agree also

[@elizabethfischer4369]

I ❤️ love the color RED so when I can get away with being redundantly Red I so do it. I admit I was smitten with the little black frame at first glance but then admit my heart went red. I see not solid but maybe Red background with tiny white heart's? It is a "Sweetheart" of a quilt. So a little to the creator it is adorable and I am inspired by your color and charmed by the fabric choices. Thank you gorgeous that. I love 💘 the idea of making a center and adding squares and or borders to it with accenting Red fabrics. Thank uou, Elizabeth Fischer ❤️

[@catherinelittle2118]

Laura, my vote is to add a border but whatever you choose to do it is a lovely bright and happy quilt. Thanks for the tips of cutting the extra five squares and using the outside measurement. Your sewing is extremely accurate and as a result your blocks are joined perfectly. Laura, you are a wonderful teacher and mentor. I have learned and continue to learn many things from you. Thank you.

[@CraftyRoxx]

I love the ladybug 🐞 fabric added as a border, it pulls the quilt together. great tip about the center square.

[@nancycox3318]

I love this quilt, both the fabric and the pattern. I would add a border with the red, but first add a narrow border so the border fabric isn't touching the same fabric in the patchwork.

[@jazzyjoyce421]

Love your quilt! Use the ladybug 🐞 as your boarders, the fabric color is perfect

[@juliewerner9592]

Thank you Laura, I have been searching for weeks for just the right block to make up a memory quilt from my mums nighties. She passed away at the end of June 💞 This one is the one… thanks again from Australia 🌅

[@TheLadymolly]

I love the quilt with the red border. I love the idea of creasing the center.

[@lizreynolds4554]

Thank you for sharing this with us. This is beautiful. I like the border. You explain and demonstrate very well, makes it easier to "get it." I appreciate it. Have a blessed day.😊

[@lynnbean7200]

You have a lovely clear teaching style. It makes it very easy to follow what you're doing. Thank you. BTW I think you should add a ladybug border but as someone else said add a narrow white/cream internal border first.

[@debmorgan8124]

I'd like to see a matching cream border followed by the red border. This way the little red squares on the edges won't get lost in the red border. I love your videos and your very calm explanations! Thank you!

[@dc5600]

I learned a lot from your video! I think narrow border and then red border would look good. Pretty quilt.

[@saramccool4899]

I do love the way the border makes the red pop. Love the love notes fabrics, all of Vanessa's fabrics she puts out are fabulous.

[@yolandarivas6511]

Add the border! Love your tutorials and pattern books too. Thank you for all you do.

[@DeniseNewby]

I agree with those advocating for the lady bug border. It just really sets off the whole quilt. Your work is always so well explained, and demonstrated. I always learn something when I watch you make your beautiful quilts. Thank you for sharing.

[@njbyrd1617]

Pressing the center square is a great tip. I'd put a very narrow border in white and then add the red border. It is a very pretty quilt top. Thanks for sharing.

[@wilycat5290]

Cute quilt. Yes add a border or two. The red ladybug fabric looked great, but maybe a narrow black border first. I always enjoy your presentations. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

[@crickettstone7051]

Great tips as always! Finding your chanel has up'd my game considerably, thank you! I vote border, I think it pulls it all together beautifully.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I love this quilt and the fun of assembling. Hard to believe that one charm pack did all this.

[@margaretWestminster]

This is so pretty. It's amazing how cutting and re arranging patterns change the whole look Thank you❤

[@loriscrochetcreations8566]

Hello, hello, hello, Laura, I hadn't watched one of your videos in a long time. I forgot how wonderful you are at teaching. Thank you for this quilt idea. I love it. I would put the red border, but first, I would add a small 1 inch border dark or light first. Thank you for another great lesson. You just gave me the quilt idea I was looking for, to use my favorite fabric.

[@rosesbaker]

Narrow strip border, then the ladybug bug border 👍 I really appreciate the hint for cutting additional blocks when working with blocks that have the 'pinking' ... 👏👏👏👏

[@karengudith8222]

I agree with the idea of a narrow light border then the red. Love charm square projects. Thank you for your tutorials. 🙂

[@suestutzle2779]

I love the ladybug border. When you put the fabric behind the squares it really made the quilt pop. Loved all your tips too.

[@helenmather9722]

I think a border would set the quilt off beautifully. I love the fabrics you used. That extra pop of colour makes all the difference.

[@karengray2650]

You explain things in detail and so clearly and intelligently, thank you

[@doreensherk287]

I am doing the same pattern using blacks and grays with a red centre and used your idea of pressing the centre square into 4. Helps with the cutting.

[@sherrywilson44]

Glad you went with the Love Notes they are gorgeous. I think you should add the border. I love those little lady bugs and they will look so good with those in the quilt. I'm looking forward to the finished project. I appreciate the tip you threw in about adding the five to utilize some of the extra charms. Thanks so much, I'm getting ready to start a charm quilt, disappearing nine and I'll dig threw my stash and see what I can come up with.

[@msnelson98]

🌸Such a classy lady🌺. Love your tutorials. I learn so much from you. Thank you for the inspiration 💕

[@birdwatcher1957]

I vote for the ladybug border just so the size is increased. The block layout looks great and I always like not having to match seams. Another easy project. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

Love the different tips you gave. I would add a thin black border and then the ladybug border. The black will bring out the lady bugs. Or skinny white with the Red and black binding to show case the ladybugs.

[@daisyjoy58]

Yes, add the border - the colors are beautiful and so easy - sewveryeasy! Love it! Thank you Larua!

[@gabrielemalcolm3567]

Truly enjoy watching this quilt come together. The Ladybug 🐞 border would brighten it up...thanks for asking.

[@mariemethe2408]

Beautiful quilt top! I think the ladybug border would make it even better yet.

[@elizabethwilliams3267]

Thank you for the valuable tip - using the charm square as a guide for cutting extra ones!

[@doreensherk287]

I love it. It looks good with or without a border. It does make a cute baby quilt. I think I would have no border.

[@sophiastamatis9235]

The border would be lovely. Really makes the colors pop.

[@phyllisdippert2216]

Really like your techniques. A border would really set it off.

[@lisafuller2027]

Yes border! It finishes it so nicely when you held it up that's what I thought it needed. Love your vids Laura❣️

[@leonawilliams8747]

I would like to see it with a border. Thanks for a great idea to stretch out a charm pack, I have so many but was not smart enough when I started collecting to buy 2 or 3 of ones I really liked so now find I have so any that I don't know what to do with. This will be great for me to make some baby quilts or floor quilts for the little ones. I learn so much from your videos, thank you so much for sharing.

[@pamketron]

Hi Laura - I love your layout and fabrics! I would add a thin border of maybe white or cream and then add a 6 inch border of the ladybug fabric. I think this will outline your quilt very nicely. Whatever you decide to do will be beautiful. Enjoy the rest of your week. 💕

[@phyllisdyson4819]

A red border would look so lovely on that quilt.

[@claudiastevens9628]

So many fabric lines have to many lights for me. I like to use lights for backgrounds to define the block and my skills aren't very good. Watching your posts are very helpful. I made the charm pack quilt where you used cute gnome fabric and it turned out so cute. Enjoy everything you do

[@robertarouse5018]

Add the border. I like the baby quilt idea . Love your videos not too long, just enough information to kee me inspired.

[@karenraabis5296]

Your nail polish looked amazing!

[@creationsbycjdesigns7197]

I love how you throughly explain everything you do. I vote for a 2 inch inner border of coordinating color and lady bug outer border.

[@suzanner8360]

I vote for the border! You could use the same technique with a layer cake too.

[@doreensherk287]

I just rewatched this as I am making a disappearing 9 patch with blacks, grays and light black prints and a red centre square. I am glad I rewatched this for the hint about the press on the centre square.

[@dijones9217]

Beautiful Laura….I vote border and looking forward to the quilting 💐

[@meph9283]

It is beautiful. And I think a white border or a narrow border will be perfect 😻. Thanks for sharing with us 💗.

[@joycedecker6130]

I like adding borders, and the color of your border fabric really pulls the quilt together

[@tammywashington7783]

Absolutely add the border!! It makes the added fabric pop.

[@person2463]

Love the layout, Laura. Agree with everyone, a narrow stop border, and then a wider ladybug border. Hugs, Chel🌸

[@karin0963]

My first quilt was a disappearing 9 patch. It was so much fun. I love the fabric you chose.

[@thewaldens90]

I vote yes on the border. A beautiful finishing touch to such a pretty quilt.

[@marionbartley214]

I think adding the border will really accent this quilt really nicely, That's what I vote for.

[@eleanorwittering3126]

Oh! I love the simplicity of this *patchwork* hack!!!!!!!

[@franfrom9210]

Yes, I agree with the comments. Add a thin white border and the wider red border. Lovely quilt! Thank you!

[@deniseg7340]

I vote to add the border - that fabric is soooo cute and it really makes the little squares in the quilt pop! I too like the up/down corner square layout - really sharp and each fabric stands out. I actually like the ladybug fabric border right next to the quilt - the matchup of the ladybug border to the ladybug squares touching makes for an interesting affect. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@lisalowell5990]

I really enjoyed the different layouts, I have been hesitant to use my charm squares to do a nine patch but I really look forward to working on a Christmas nine patch quilt.. Definitely would use a little border and then and the lady bug fabric. I lenjoy the way you teach.. thanks for the videos

[@marshalindquist5540]

I also like the ladybug border. Thank you for this demo.....very cute!!!!

[@joane8651]

Yes on the borders! It's a very pretty quilt already, but I think the borders will give it a little more charm.

[@kathleenpoole1372]

Definitely add the boarder, this is adorable.

[@nancysandstrom859]

I love “Love Notes”. I did a small Valentine wall hanging with mine…Definitely would add the border.

[@kendranewton9071]

I would love it with a nice 6” border. The quilt came out lovely.

[@traceybeale1761]

I vote for the border. Thanks for the tips they are very helpful for a beginner like me.

[@je7867]

Thank you for the ideal to crease the center square. It definitely makes a difference to cutting the squares when the charm pack or layer cake are not true to size. I am excited to get started on my baby blanket. I think adding a border is a great ideal. Also, thank you for such great videos and instructions!!

[@suzannewastie8479]

My personal choice would be to use a wide "ladybug" border. I would also add some sashing both ways in a dark colour such as navy blue or even black to break up the blocks a bit because while I like the layout, with all those squares being so busy, I think sashing would make the quilt even more attractive. Thankyou so much for your tutorial. You make quilting look so easy. I'm only just starting out at the ripe old age of 74 and I'm armed to the teeth with loads of charms and strips, so I'm excited to start on this one for my very first project. Hopefully I can remember to post a photo of the finished product so you can let me know what you think, Laura. From Oz with luv & stuff - Suzie

[@nancybraddell2830]

With the border makes it pop. Beautiful quilt.

[@jenniferallison8652]

I really enjoyed your video. I think you should add a border to finish it off. Very good tips on cutting as well as arranging the squares.

[@rosesrose6582]

I love the lady bugs. I think a boarder will look wonderful.

[@lucylegris2495]

This will be my next quilt!! I love the border, it adds much more life and color to the quilt. Thank you!

[@agnescarr9226]

Laura, awesome video! You gave so many different options in this lesson. Love the fabric and can’t wait to see the end result! Thanks again! 🤗

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

I meant to say same fabric in a different placenta pattern what a grand idea. Thank you. Would be wonderful for Christmas prints which I have an abundance of. Thank you again.

[@ccpperrett7522]

Thank you Laura for the tip to "fold the center square into fourths and press". I have made the "disappearing 9 patch" before and found cutting the nine patches tedious. The "pressing" tip will definitely simplify that step. I like the border fabric; I cast my vote for the border. ❤

[@paulusher5139]

I would add a border. I actually made one of these disappearing 9-patch quilts with 2 charm packs and an almost solid red, in xmas fabrics. I love it. Love your quilt too.

[@karenfranko5671]

I would definitely add the border. It sets it out even more.

[@christyshields1742]

I would add a border. Love your quilting videos.

[@suemitchell7592]

A narrow white inner border and then the wider ladybug border. Cute quilt and a good idea to use up a lonsome charm pack.

[@cherylkindle4497]

I would add a small white stopping border, then the ladybug border. 🐞💖

[@annbarth7358]

The love note line is beautiful, I would add a narrow light stop border then a wide ladybug outer border. Thanks for the tip about pressing the center square.

[@yolandavelez9689]

I like how you explain how to make the quilt. My main language is spanish,. I learn english at school. I understand both your english and how to maka the quilt. Thank you.

[@heidilecompte4198]

Yes, add the border. Makes a unifying frame to the quilt. Really like this versatile pattern that is easy to assemble.

[@guadalupeblakey9926]

Have to tell you this is a wonderful wonderful pattern. I can make all my granddaughtersbwirh the same fabrics, thank yuo

[@hollywaddell6727]

I like the suggestion for a thin black border to encase the bright piecework and then finish with a wider border of the red ladybug fabric. Bind with the red, if you have enough, to give the illusion of an even larger quilt.

[@changaKitty]

Love the Quilt Laura, would look great with a stop boarder and then the ladybugs.

[@pywagner]

I'd add a border or 2. Not only makes it a bit larger but frames the blocks so nicely. 🙂 I love your tip of cutting the yardage according to the size of the charm with its uneven edge. So obvious but I hadn't thought of it before!

[@yvonnemoretti7646]

I love this quilt with the border. your tutorials are always "so very easy "

[@barbaravanalmelonelson]

Went to a learn to quilt class and just finished project. This is my next, wish me luck😊

[@lindaedwards6148]

Border really makes the quilt pop. Lady Bugs get my vote!

[@jacquehabermel4827]

Love the fabric! Like it with a border. Cannot wait to see how you quilt it!

[@marieerickson9695]

I think you should add the border!,I love this fabric and your design…I need to go sew!

[@GranDonnaParker]

I have done a disappearing 9patch before but this is the first time I have seen this hint to iron in the centers! Thanks! And yes, I too think a white narrow border then the red wide borders would look great and I hope you’ll show it to us when you finish it.

[@allyoop6589]

The lady bug border would look great! It’s going to be a beautiful quilt either way though. 😊

[@cathybabnick7326]

I like the way it looks with a border. Makes the quilt a bit larger also.

[@cindyhappel7376]

Laura, definitely add the border! I think it will really set off the quilt.
