If you want a beautiful quilt, go with no border. If you want a truly magnificent quilt, go with the border you have auditioned in your second picture!!
|
Border for sure is my vote!
|
Both nice, but my vote goes to using borders.
|
I'm like others in that the quilt has lovely colors that looks so nice in a modern way-but, something dramatic missing. The added purple border added that dramatic touch. I really think the border makes the quilt's footprint dramatic! I do like the borderless modern quilts-but not this time. Looking forward to seeing the finish.
|
It is beautiful...border for me!
|
Adding a border makes all the other colors "Pop". I vote to add the border.
|
That border is just perfect.
|
When I saw the first picture I said no border but when I saw the second one I said yes!!! It's gorgeous either way though.
|
definitely with the border. makes the quilt pop. really nice
|
I like the border!
|
Dina, Please tell us more about the quilt. The pattern name? Was this made in large blocks? I love it both ways but vote for the border.
|
My first reaction was no border until I saw the border you chose. I say border.
|
I'm definitely not in the majority here, but I think it needs a white border (I'm assuming the the background color is white.) before you start the purple ones. I don't think it needs to be very wide, just enough to separate the borders from the quilt. I'd audition it, at least.

I was thinking it needed a border but had no idea what you needed and then I saw your second picture and that is a wonderful choice. It will be beautiful. I think the border just frames out your nice quilt beautifully. You go girl!!!! Please share a pic when you finish.
|
I think a border really sets it off. I like the idea of a softer narrow border then the bolder print. Any of the colors in the top would work to that same effect, simply a matter of which one you want to feature. BTW - really, really like this quilt!
|
The border really adds a new dimension!
|
I can see where it would get boring sewing the long strips, but your result is stunning. I like your bolder colors. Here is the tutorial. http://frombolttobeauty.blogspot.com...elly-roll.html

I too like the border!
|
Definitely the border makes it sing. I liked it in the first picture, but when I saw the second, I thought, yes! That's even better! This is coming from someone who doesn't usually favor borders unless it absolutely enhances the design. In this case, for example.
Love to see pictures when you're finished! |
Border looks great!
|
I am a border person, always.

The border really frames the quilt and sets it off.
|
When I read the caption and first saw the picture - I thought no. Then I saw your second picture and yea, that would look great.

I think the border is very striking!! Gorgeous quilt and use of color!!
|
My first instinct was no, but when I saw your borders they looked great. Definitely go with the borders.
|
I don't care for borders; and leaving them off gives your quilt a very modern look. That said, I love the purple borders you have picked out and would certainly apply them to this quilt. Great choice!!
|
Gorgeous quilt. The border is perfect!
