Which borders should my planet quilt have?
 

I am playing with 3 different border ideas. I have been going back and forth and could use some input.

Which of these do you prefer?

Thanks for any comments.

I'll vote for number 1, just the blue. Very cute quilt, Dina!

The first one, having the white border, makes the inside look "incomplete" to me.

#1 definitely! Nice quilt!

I agree with the others - #1 is my favorite too cute quilt!

Another vote for number 1. Love it!

I vote number 1. Cute cat!

I also vote for #1.

#1 frames the center. The others distract imo.

The 3rd one! Both look good so why not use them? Love the fabric!

Yep #1 Fun quilt

I prefer one but 3 is my second choice.

#1 looks great

I like the first one but I think the last one is my favorite.

Thanks for all of your votes. I am currently leaning towards the 3rd one. :)

I am with you Dina, 3rd one!!!

I vote blue... but I will defer to the cat's opinion.

yep, the first one . or the last if you need it larger. Very nice!!!

The blue brings the entire quilt together!

First one--hands down! I LOVE your quilt. What pattern is it? The planet fabric is a LOT of fun to look at.

My vote goes for just the blue. It is a beautiful color. I don't feel that the white does anything for your beautiful quilt.

#1 is for me!

The pattern is called What Knots? in a book titled Mystery Quilts by Rita Fishel. When I first started quilting, 6 years ago, I found that the instructions for mystery quilts were just what this beginner needed. I bought several mystery quilt books, but Rita Fishel's book has been my favorite. I have made several quilts using this pattern. It is fun to make.

I vote for number 1.

I'm a great fan of 'floating' the design of the body of a quilt. View 3 does this better than the other two, in my opinion, and is more attractive to me.

Thanks, Jan, for putting words to why I prefer the 3rd choice. I was trying to explain it to my son, and it is the "floating" that really describes what I like. It also seems to give my eyes a place to rest....and I think I will consider my decision made. Tomorrow I will sew the borders on.

I liked # 3. Seems to frame it better. What did the kitty like?

I like the first one as well...the aqua/blue is a nice pop of color the white just disappears.

i vote for #3... i like the center 'floating

Just the blue inner border. Love it.

Another vote for #1.

#1 is my choice.

No.1 for me. I like the planets and your quilt.

I agree. The aqua just finishes it off perfectly.

I'm a real fan of floating blocks usually, but I like the first one better on this one. The rectangles make the design look like it should end there. The blue frame does a good job of doing that.

Number one is great!

I like number three

I like the turquoise one by its self.

I too like #1
