Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Ladies please help- I am working on a feather star quilt and need help deciding which border. I have already attached the 1st border and now not sure if I like it. Pic 2 is another boder that I may like better. What do you tbink? I will need to rip off border 1 and then take the HST apart - UGH! Opinions?????

is the pieced border going to be on all sides? It's not bad but needs to be all around. Not sure you need more after that. especially of the print (pretty as it is).
I would take off all the borders, then add the light burgundy, pieced border then the green & bind it with the black flowers. I prefer the first pieced border you have.
I also feel as though the black flowers should come after the other borders. I think I would try a smaller sawtooth, the size of the smaller ones in the quilt, between the red and green strips, then the black flowers. It's lovely!Originally Posted by Gail B
I'm really sorry, but I think the sawtooth pieced border goes much better with the feathered star. You can take the original border apart watching TV!

Think the pieced border draws my eye away from the center star. If it was my quilt I would want the star to be the focal point.
I agree with this. The pieced border takes away from the star.
I really don't like to say this, but I don't care for the pieced border at all. You want your feather star to be the center of attention which you made so beautifully and a busy border distracts from your piecing that you did such a great job.

I agree with maniacquilter. The sawtooth distracts from your beautiful center.
I think I'd pass on the pieced border. It takes your eye away from the center, which is beautiful.
