The boarder in the first picture is too busy. It over powers the pattern. I would add maybe a solid boarder.

I do not want to buy more fabric and I only have one matching brown fat quarter left. I will bind it in the busy fabric, but from what has been suggested, I thought maybe a pink piping just inside the binding will help break up the white. I have lots of pink. Hub likes pink! I will use the busy border fabric for the backing. Thanks all for weighing in! Much appreciated. |
I agree with the majority. No border, And bind it in dark brown. Beautiful bed runner.
|
I like it without - but the border fabric you showed would make great binding
|
I always think a border adds the finishing touch.
|
I like the border. It frames the work and give a nice repeat to the colors in the plates.
|
I like it without. The border print is nice, but not for this quilt IMO; it's a little too busy
|
I would add the border. I love your choice of colors.
|
I did not read all your replies to see if someone else said this. I would use the green you have in the middle of the plates for a border. I really like what you have done.
|
Without the border and a dark binding. It's very pretty!
|
I would go with without. I agree that the border is overpowering.
|
I think the border is a bit too busy for my taste, I'd try a plain border or choose number 2
|
I always like adding a border. It frames the quilt and adds dimension.
|
I like the 2nd picture lots better than the first.
|
I wouldnt mind the border, but you need something to separate the outside triangles from the busy border. Otherwise, you're losing them in the busy-ness of the print. Very pretty - it will llook great on a white spread.
|
They are both pretty, but I like the border better.
|
i like it with out , the boarder you chose takes away from the pattern
|
I like it without the borders - looks cleaner and the dresdens really stand out!
|
add the border…….really nice fabrics!
|
I'd say no borders... looks more modern and the design stands out without being overpowered with a busy border. VERY pretty!
|
I'm glad that you brought this dilemma up, as I'm going through the same thing. Personally, I've been drawn lately to quilts with no borders, so I say without. That's what I've decided for my own quilt too. :)
|
I would add a narrow 1" white border to stop the pattern before adding the bright border. Otherwise, I think the bright fabric overpowers your lovely plates.
|
I love the blocks and the sashing and I think the print border makes the QST get lost.
|
I like it without the border, but with a dark binding. That would give it a "clean" look. The added border looks too fussy, and detracts from the Dresden plates. IMHO.

I agree with ube...narrow border using the cornerstone fabric. If you don't like this suggestion, I'd go without a border. JMHO.

I like the border best but it is nice without....Very nice....
|
I would add a border but using a different fabric. The darker color of the corner stones will frame the quilt, however, it too might overpower the lovely DP. Audition one of the pink on pink or the green from the centers along with the brown. Just be sure that YOU LIKE IT regardless of the consensus of the list.
|
OH, that is so pretty. Love the colors. I like it both ways.
|
I vote. Without. Lovely runner :)

I would choose another border as I think this one is too busy
|
I too think it detracts from the beautiful job you've done - so without the border imho.
|
add a border as a frame. nice
|
I would choose a different fabric if you are set on adding a border, that fabric just overpowers the pretty Dresden plates. So I would vote without unless you change the fabric.
|
Not an expert, but i like it with. Anyway you do it, it will be lovely!
