I agree with everyone to not use another inner border.
I go with Tartan for a slightly smaller border as it feels a bit heavy to me too
gorgeous quilt.

I agree with everyone else, that is a beautiful quilt! If you had pieces that didn't match up .... they sure don't show.

Beautiful log cabin! It is so much fun seeing how the same pattern can be so different as we select fabrics and slightly different designs.

Hi again,
the pattern is adapted from the Jinny Beyer pattern called Chelsea (free pattern download on her website). I pulled assorted fabrics from my stash. Nothing was new except the darkest green. My border print is an older Robert Kaufman fabric which I've had for about six years. The strips are very narrow.

The pattern calls for using the border print again at the intersection of the narrow (my green) logs. I opted not to do that, but it would have created another very beautiful secondary design with an illusion of more curves.

Here is a picture while I was chain-piecing the blocks, before the corner triangles were added.

thank you -I agree! I will trim it narrower.

I vote for the second picture, this quilt is so beautiful.

Beautiful Quilt! So much more than a simple log cabin. I agree with the others and your cat. The second photo border is perfect. In our house, it's not a quilt till the cat plops down on it.

I agree with the others but would like to see what a white or the light fabric in your blocks would like next to the stripe.

This quilt is awesome!

Another idea. (Bright?) Make those outer triangle blocks complete squares. That would interrupt the border. I love interrupted borders. Means you would have to make a first row of border pieced, to accept the added triangles, then add another bit of straight border. Lots of added work! But your striped fabric would work wonderfully for that.
