    Default Time to select borders...

    I am posting two different border ideas. They are very similar. But I have noticed that if I post two possibilities, I can look at them both at the same time easier here than another way that I have found. Plus, then I get input from interested quilters who help me decide.

    I know each of these borders "bleeds" into a fabric from the center, but that has never bothered me.

    I am just trying to decide which I like better. Which do you like better? Thanks for any opinions.

    (This is the Warm Wishes pattern, and the focus fabric is galaxies. I got four space fabrics for Christmas and love all four. I had hoped to put them all in one quilt, but it just was too busy looking. This galaxy fabric is my favorite of the four. The other 3 I will use later.)

    Option #2 for me. It's more dramatic.

    I love that quilt & those colors are just awesome! Can you tell us the name of that galaxy fabric & where it came from? I vote for #2 borders.
