I like just the green border, but would bind with the gold.
|
I did decide to go with the green only as Judythesewer and Luv Quilts & Cats swayed me. Once I backed away from the quilt the blocks really do stand out with only the green and since that is where all the "hard" work is I want it to show.
Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions. |
Just the green with green binding, is more pleasing to my eyes
|
what she said :)
|
It is nice either way but I am glad you went with the green border only. It is much more stunning that way.
|
I like your decision. I would have done the same.
|
Gold border yes, green binding no. Bind with the gold, beautiful BTW
, |
Either way looks good to me. For me it would depend on if I wanted gold to be the main focus----depending on the rest of the room. The green outer border gives it a more generic color look.
|
I found that as well - but a lovely quilt and love your colour choice

Well, when I first looked at it, my eye was drawn to the center, with just the green border, but when I saw it with the gold, it drew me to the gold border more than to the center. I think I would have to look at it a few times too. I think I might like it with just the green border and then maybe binding it in the gold.

Oh just seen you have chosen to go with just the green - that will teach me to read all the posts!!!!
|
The gold border makes the whole quilt pop. Beautiful quilt.
|
My sentiments exactly!
|
I love it with the green border/binding. Beautiful colors!

From the images provided, I got an instant impression that it just popped with the addition of the gold border. That said, I don't know if I would like the green binding. It is lovely either way.
|
personally i like the gold border and would probably bind it in gold as well
|
My vote goes to the gold border, and if you decide not to do that - green binding

I like it either way as well...no help here...
|
I thought it was pretty but then I saw it with the additional gold border and it just popped !! I love it with the gold border.
|
Love the gold border
|
I think the gold border detracts the eye from the center where you've done beatiful work. I would go with the green border, only, and also bind in green.
|
I like the gold border added.
|
Love the gold, it really makes it pop, I would use the gold for the binding as well
|
I would add it - makes it stand out more
|
#1- How big do you want the quilt to be. Adding the gold border will make the quilt several inches bigger. That said I think that it would look nice with a smaller green border (about 1/2 the width it is now) and then the wider gold border. If using the gold border then bind in gold. IMHO
|
I like it stopped at the green border.
|
I like just the green in the first example and would suggest binding in green also.
However, if you want it larger, then: 1. Do an 'insert flange' like the second example in post #9 here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t203182.html 2. Follow up with another green border. 3. Bind w/green. Shari |

Definitely use the gool bordeer. Looks gorgeous!!
|
I prefer it with just the green boarder but I am not to keen on gold besides what do I know I am just a newbie anyhow. Love the quilt
|
Their both beautiful. With the green border the foces is on the blocks. With the Gold border the blocks fade
into the background and the foces is the gold. Just depends on what you want. I think I would just go with the green border. |

I personally like the 2 borders with possibly a 3rd small (1" finished) blue border between the green and gold. Please post when you decide.

I think just the green. The additional gold borders too overwhelming. Pretty quilt!
|
I think the whole quilt "sparkles" more with the gold border added. Be sure to show us what you finally decide !
|
no on the gold outside border. to me it takes away for the wonderful blocks you made I love it with just the green. sweet job.
|
Very pretty quilt! I prefer the gold border added :)

I like the second gold border.
