Thank you TallChick! .... I've never made a Bonnie Hunter, but it just "looked" like one! Love your colours and Grunge choice. Sometimes Bonnie's scrappies are just too scrappy and can be totally distracting. Plan as you did, was a great plan!

A winner is what you have and no matter which way you go from here, it'll be the "right" way! Look forward to seeing what you do!!!

I was leaning to 5 until I enlarged the small pics slightly and they were next to each other. Then I realized 5 overpowered the body of the quilt and all the exquisite piecing and design. I like 1 and would like to see a gold strip (a little narrower than shown on both sides of the pieced border.

The last one. I like the Blue on the outside as it seems to frame it the best. Beautiful work.

I looked at all of options before reading the comments, I am so easily influenced! I chose the 5th picture. Wider, with the rusty color setting off the space between quilt and the pattern in the border. What perfection! Beautifully done.
