Border Opinions Please
 
5 Attachment(s)
Have you ever looked at a quilt so long you just can’t decide on a border? I’m stumped and probably should have just picked a solid color and called it done, but here I am. Which do you think looks better? I am leaning towards the last one.
As always, thank you for all your feedback!

The last one is beautiful -- and so is your quilt. The last border frames the quilt instead of blending in with it. Gorgeous work!

You do lovely stitching! Picture 2 or 5 would be a nice finish for your pretty top! :)

One and three look the same to me. That's the one I prefer. Spectacular quilt!

I like both 2 & 5 and probably lean more toward 2. Whichever you choose it is a beautiful quilt.

I like 2, 5 & prefer 5

I like the first one, but in addition I would like to add another narrow border of the rust color all around. I like having the bolder rust on the outside, rather than the softer gray.

I vote 2 or 5. Like2 best.
Such nice piecing😊

WOWZERS!!!!!!! An incredible quilt, this is!
Is this a Bonnie Hunter pattern?

Borders .... I would go with #2, with a few changes ......
* Make the gold border narrower, as in #5
* Broaden the rust/outer border

Binding .... go with a flange binding in rust, and the flange in the green (or is it a grey?)

Sitting here stunned with your quilt ..... the colours just happen to be "my" favourites, so it calls to me all the more!!!

I love #2 best, but the last one is great too.
