I love the print border--Wow, what beautiful fabric not to mention the quilt...

When in doubt...send it to your favorite long arm quilter
(that's what I would do but you have to understand my quilting skills are limited... :mrgreen: )

oh, and keep the blue border---maybe just a tad wider, it really shows off the quilt

It's beautiful. I agree with those who said they would make the blue border wider. Definitely keep the paisley border - it looks great. and then bind with the blue. Make sure you show us the finished product.

I love paisley. What a pretty quilt! I agree that the narrow blue should be included.
Nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

The pattern is the basic and original Bethany Reynolds "Stack-n-Whack". Still the most favorite of those who make the pattern. The original with the small blue border sets off the center very well. Then the wider paisley completes the design. Without the larger outer border I believe the quilt appears somewhat unbalanced.
There have been stencils designed for the center star of this design. Using a specific quilting motif in the "star" further accentuates the kaleidscope. Some background around it brings out the design more. You might search for the kaleidscope quilting designs/stencils. I know The Stencil Co has one which I designed for them. Others are available as well. To quilt an all over pattern doesn't do the design justice in my opinion.

I'm with Omak on the border width. Beautiful quilt.

Your quilt is beautiful, i think the second border is best,I like it with a thin blue border first, then your focus fabric.

Awesome! You guys rock! The blue then the paisley it is! I think I might just try my hand a quilting it myself too. You guys give me courage! If it doesn't work, well, I got myself a nice quilt then right?
Thanks Ladies!
:)

I would definitely use both borders. The quilt is awesome. The colors look so cool and serene! Great job! :thumbup:

Ditter

I'd go for the blue to separate the paisley. It is beautiful.

Omak gave you some very good advice. It is a beautiful top, you should be very proud of it. Personally, I like the idea of a little wider blue border and then the lovely pasley.
