My poor little Kansas Dug-Out has been collecting dust as it hangs on the design wall waiting for a border idea to come to mind. So, well I was thinking about it, I've been working on a Hocuspocusville stitchery block and with just a few more stitches to go; I now have an idea for the Kansas Dug-Out border.
Before I shake off the dust and get down to business, I would love to hear any idea's you may have.
Until next time.....happy quilting!

No border ideas but love the Kansas Dugout with the black background!
Your little quilt is lovely :-) I would choose a simple black border and a multicoloured binding.
happy quilting

Lovely little quilt. The brights look great against the black.
Your quilt looks fantastic Karen. I love all the bright colours!
What a beautiful little quilt, and your houses look good up there. I'm with Angelika, black border and multi colour binding.
I like the idea of the black with multi-color binding. You could do another row of the zig zags with a variety of black prints.
I was noticing the houses at the top. They could make a border around too.
Love the colors. I like the idea of a black border. Although extra work, i could see a black inner border, a bit wide; a relatively narrow multicolored border, then another black border with black binding. Ratio of width of borders would matter. Those colrs are really lovely & the black sets them off so well! Lovely work, & love the houses too. B
From a gal who lived in Kansas for almost 30 years, that is a beautiful Kansas Dugout. You could try a "piano keys" border - strips of the multicolors all around separated from the body of the quilt by a black sashing and bound in black. Might work and might not--but worth a try. The plain black would be wonderful, too. Carol
It is a gorgeous quilt. I would go for a very simple border. I like the idea of black border and coloured binding.
Love the bright colors! The black background really brings out the colors. Your teddy bear is so cute!
Lovely quilt. I love the black. All the quilts I made with black I put Black borders. or a small 1/1/2"inch border of the coloured fabric then the black border say 3"inch The coloured fabric is lovely.
