I think it looks quite nice. If it were me, I'd want to try it with a larger print for the border, just to see if that might be preferable, but I think it works really well. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't care for the plain brown.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I think it looks quite nice. If it were me, I'd want to try it with a larger print for the border, just to see if that might be preferable, but I think it works really well. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't care for the plain brown.
I think the dark brown solid fabric would be stunning, but the medium one is nice, too. It's just a different look... more casual & playful.
FYI ... some sites will give you Pantone color numbers so you can get more exact color matches.
ooh good ideas! Okay here are some of the other combos mentioned (I don't have a bigger print on hand with these colors).
I like the middle photo. Pink inner border, then dark brown solid. I'm not fond of the print. To me, it just does not go with the rest of the beautiful top.Originally Posted by gale
Do you have enough of the pink to use it as the boarder? I would make a narrow border from the dark brown to frame the centre, then use pink for the border. IMHO the brown is too dark to be wide and would take away from your centre.
I love the small pink and larger dark brown borders.
I LOVE the first option.
go for it!
A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.
i would go with the pictured print, not the solid.

I like the one solid dark border. It really enhances the graphics of the quilt. Pretty quilt by the way.
I, too, would go with the first one you showed, the print. I liked the one with the 1 or 2 inch or solid first, and then the print. It is a neat quilt, and I do like it.
