Thread: Extra outer border ... yay or nay?

Here is the finished (maybe) quilt top. My DH wants a brown border so I added it in between but now I am wondering if I should or should not put the outer brown border as well. Thought? Which do you prefer?

I Love that pattern and golor choices :mrgreen: I kind of like the way the brown seperates the border :thumbup:

I like the 1st pic.

Yes, go for the extra row of brown. Makes it look complete. besides, it'll be easier to do the binding on a solid piece than the pieced border!!

Thank you! :) Up close they have flowers here and there but it is more manly colors haha. :)

Ohh good point esq I hadnt even though about that!!

It is purely a personal thing - no right or wrong answers. I would go for another outer border,however, to help frame the quilt - but that is just me.

BTW I like the quilt - Nice job.

I vote for the extra border of brown, too. Nice work!

Thank you so much. :) It is my first that is any real size. The rest have all been lap quilt size, table runners, wall hangings, and other quilted gifts. :) DH loves it so that makes me happy too!

I think another boarder would look great, would finish it off nicely.
