    Default Which one would you go with, Part 2

    Two days ago I was trying to decide which fabric to select for a rail fence, and I got lots of good advice. Thanks to all who helped me decide. In the end, I decided all three looked pretty good, but I went with the one that seemed soothing and calm.

    Now I deciding on borders. I have tried a couple, but this one speaks to me. My quit inspector agrees, but I thought I would see what "real" quilters think of it.

    So, do you think this is a good way to finish it on up? Thanks for your thoughts.

    I think it's a very good choice, since it echoes one of your rail fence materials it strengthens the pattern without overwhelming it. It's going to be beautiful! Reminds me of water and how the light plays on the surface.

    First, YOU are a real quilter. Second, like the border choice very much. Would finish with either another narrow white border or at least bind in white.
