Without the stripe!!!! The stripe takes away from the gorgeous braid.

No stripe will make the rest of the design pop.

like the stripe...

I vote without. I think with it in it makes it look too busy. IMO

with!

Can't wait to see the finished work!!! It's gonna be beautiful!!!

I think a different fabric in place of the stripe, it draws the eye away from your beautiful workmanship...

Hands down, stripe as the border. The colors are beautiful!
