Auditioning Borders - Opinions Welcome!
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is a D9P for a baby girl whose Mom requested "bright & cheerful & graphic". Just finished putting on the polka-dot stop border and now I'm totally stuck. Can't decide between the hot pink tone on tone dots, the pink floral, the stripe or the multi-color ethnic print. And if none of them are right, please say so!

It seems that the pink ones don't pick up color from the body as well as the bottom one.

I like the stripe border best!

I like the bottom one - the two pink ones are too pink, and the dark stripe is attractive but a bit heavy for the airiness of the quilt itself.

Lovely quilt - I particularly like the swirly background fabric...which would also make a good border.

I vote for the tone-on-tone pink. Keeps the eye on the piecing. May not be so matchy-matchy but it works for me.

sorry, but i don't care for any of them. to me, your red squares [at least they look red on my computer] jump out at me. so i would choose a quieter border in the red.

I like the top one! Not sure were much help! Lol good luck! Shell love which ever you choose!!

I like the look of the almost solid pink but would like it better in orange or red.

Okay just to confuse you more :) How about the pink tone on tone for the ends & the top pink/orange for the sides?

actually I do not like any of the ones you are showing. I maybe agree with "alisonquilts" that the background fabric might look nice. What is the color of the nursery? or what color does the mothher like. How about a aqua blue or maybe a yellow. the main color that I see is the orange but that maybe alright if it fits in the nursery.
