to border or not to border
2 Attachment(s)
Can you help me decide if I want a border on this quilt. I have been trying to decide all day....
Thanks. Dina |
when i saw the first pic, i thought 'no'. after seeing your border choice in the second pic, i think that is what you should do! it's so pretty!
|
It looks good either way. I would make the decision based on how big I want the quilt. If you want bigger add the border, but it looks fine without :-) Nice color palette!
|
Yes. The border creates a frame and sets it off, IMO.
Lovely quilt. Watson |
I am not usually a border person and at first I too thought no. Then I saw your possible borders and changed my mind instantly. It really looks sharp with the borders.
|
i think it's gorgeous either way, if you want bigger then border, if you don't want or need larger than I'd do a narrow binding and start snuggling under it! I love the purple fabric on the super wide border but I think a teal or green would be better for the narrow part in the middle.
|
I love that border!! go for it
|
Border for sure, but with a darker inner border.
|
Without border is more moder, with border is more traditional. Pretty either way.

Yes to the double border! It really finishes it off.
|
Thanks, everyone. I can't tell you many times I have switched back and forth with this. You have been very helpful.

I like your border sample. The border looks better to me, but either would look great.

I absolutely Love your border fabric, so if it were me I would choose the bordered quilt, but no borders is the more modern esthetic so if that is the look you want to achieve, no borders it is. LOVE your fabric choices and pattern!

I do like your quilt and the purple border really adds to your quilt
|
I like the added border; thanks for sharing.
|
Yes, love the border that you picked.
|
I vote Border!:thumbup:
|
oh the purple border is gorgeous. go with that!!!
|
I think this one works better with the border, and I am not much of a border person.
|
Yes, for borders! Pretty purples too!
|
Definitely border! This is stunning...
|
The quilt would be pretty with or without, but I think you've picked the perfect border fabrics, so I would definitely use them.
|
With the border it looks great. Frames it up really nicely.
|
I vote for the double border. It frames it nicely.
|
Absolutely gorgeous and it really needs the border.
|
Love that quilt and yes that border sets it off beautifully.
|
I vote for the border, really makes the pattern pop.

The quilt will be beautiful either way. But ... The border you have chosen is perfect. Gorgeous choice of fabrics for the border and imho finishes off the quilt.
|
Yes, the border makes it!
|
Either way it is a great quilt. I vote border. Love your choice of fabrics.
|
Not that my opinion matters....I too first thought no until I saw the second picture. This quilt is stunning....
