I made an 18” paper pieced unicorn and now can’t decide what to do for the border.
I made the ribbon border but can’t decide if I like it or a plain red border best.
I’m almost out of black, so can’t make another pieced border containing black.

i love the ribbon border. if you can squeeze it out of your leftover black, i'd make a narrow black border then bind it in one of the pink/reds. it looks great

I vote for the ribbon border. Please post pictures when you are done. It's beautiful!!

That ribbon border is lots of fun, I think it goes well with your rainbow unicorn!

I love the ribbon border, but it may be a little too busy and take away from the unicorn. I think I'd go with the plain border, for the sake of the unicorn being 'center stage'.

What a hard decision. I think though I would also go for the ribbon and finish as QuiltnNan suggests.

Both borders look nice but the ribbon border gets my vote!

​I love your ribbon border but it seems to upstage the center in my opinion. If I had sewn that terrific Unicorn, I would want it to be the focal point.

Both work well.
At first I liked the fun of the ribbon border ... but then ...
I the simplicity of the red called to me. I guess I am the lone one on this thought!

Why? My conclusion was that your unicorn has a lot going on with the multi-colours,
and the ribbon border was competing, even pulling my eyes outwards to it.
Whereas, the plain red seemed calmer and let my eyes focus on the star ... your unicorn.

Unless you need size, I might even consider no border, instead using the red as a binding.
And too, would make the binding a wider than normal one, to give a nice frame around it.
