The first border which is on (the multi colored one) is 1 1/2' wide. The second border (the one I am undecided about) is 2 1/2" wide. Then the third border (pink) will have a saying embroidered on it - it is 3 1/2 " wide. The next border (off white) will be 8 1/2" wide and it has houses and fences and flowers and trees appliqued on it. I am leaving it alone tonight - walk by every once in awhile and have a look. Maybe in the morning I will be able to make up my mind. I am leaning towards the black with the small star but it might take away from the embroidery. Decisions, decisions......
