I like it without the pink. The brown seems to frame it just right! Beautiful quilt, by the way.

I agree - no pink - less is more. Edie

Gorgeous either way, but my vote is NO PINK.

I would have to agree with spokanequilter. The pink border distracts from the center. Either way, it is a beautiful quilt!!!

I really like it without the additional border......but love your fabrics!

jitkaau 06-18-2012 03:33 AM

Much better with the pink paisley - it takes the quilt from fairly good to a real zinger.

teddysmom 06-18-2012 03:39 AM

My vote is for the pink - don't care for the paisley. By the way, what pattern are you using? Would love to make one with that pattern.

I like either way, but lean towards without the pink, unless you need the size. Beautiful quilt and love the butterfly fabric.

SueDor 06-18-2012 03:48 AM

I didn't read over all of the opinions, but has anyone suggested putting the pink on the inside, then the darker one on the outside?

psquared52 06-18-2012 03:56 AM

I wouldn't add the pink. Pretty quilt!

fayefromfla 06-18-2012 04:24 AM

definitely with the pink paisley but beautiful either way

Delta 06-18-2012 04:29 AM

I love it without the pink I see the other border better without it. thx for sharing

I do like the paisley, but I wish you had mitered your corners with the black print border. Would you have enough fabric to do that? I love mitered corners when it comes to a border print.

doowopddbop 06-18-2012 04:38 AM

I like both, but then, I have a thing for paisley. Are you adding a border to grow the quilt to a certain size? Because if not, the butterfly border is just beautiful as is. Hmmm. Whatever you decide, it looks great!

I like it WITHOUT, even though I think the pink paisley is very pretty. My reason: I think the added pink border dilutes the contrast of the dark brown floral. It's a lovely quilt and I think that wide dark brown finishes it beautifully all by itself.

I would vote for not adding the pink. The black border is beautiful and really makes the beautiful quilt pop. Really love the print in the black. Is it a Moda print?

stitchquick 06-18-2012 04:44 AM

the fourth one , it really a beautiful quilt thanks for show us

CathieB 06-18-2012 05:04 AM

I like it without the pink. I do lo ve the paisley fabric though and think it will be gorgeous in another project!

DebbieG 06-18-2012 05:16 AM

My vote is for the paisley too....love paisley but the pink ties up the middle of the quilt better!! Very pretty!!!

Tudey 06-18-2012 05:51 AM

Either way is nice, but I prefer without the pink

cpcarolyn 06-18-2012 05:58 AM

All though I love the pink - have it myself. I would not add it to the quilt.
The pink is too busy next to the butterflys.

dd55 06-18-2012 06:02 AM

beautiful quilt. i like it better without the pink border.

gramarraine 06-18-2012 06:26 AM

I like it with the pink.

Mkotch 06-18-2012 06:41 AM

I like it best with just the paisley. Wonder if you have considered mitering the border?

IdahoSandy 06-18-2012 06:52 AM

The paisley is perfect so go with that and what a beautiful quilt.

katieranch 06-18-2012 07:02 AM

Wow, by now I am sure you have made a decision...not sure how, though! I like it without the pink, but agree it depends on how large you want the quilt to be. Beautiful, either way.

Debd 06-18-2012 07:03 AM

I personally like the dark, I think brings the focus to the beautiful quilt it is framing. Nice job!

laynak 06-18-2012 07:07 AM

Butterfly & rickrack are my preference.

Grace MooreLinker 06-18-2012 07:10 AM

Pink hands up, but I'm a big fan of the paisley has been one of my best love prints. Beautiful quilt good job.

rrhaigh 06-18-2012 07:34 AM

i like it best without the pink paisley.

bobquilt3 06-18-2012 07:41 AM

I think that I would have to go without the pink. Something so rich looking about the black on black.

feffertim 06-18-2012 08:07 AM

I vote for without the pink, love that fabric, it's beautiful

justme 06-18-2012 08:11 AM

my thoughts exactly.............without.....that way I see the whole quilt...with my eye just goes to the border...lovely quilt.

cassiemae 06-18-2012 09:06 AM

I like the PINK also. You did a good job.I have made that TAW quilt and plan on doing another one.

bibi 06-18-2012 09:34 AM

It is a beautiful quilt either way. Consider for whom and for what purpose the quilt is made for and then maybe it might be easier to make a decision.

Alondra 06-18-2012 09:39 AM

I sort of like that pink paisley - it gives it richness - but it's a beauty either way. Ya did good!

qltrwannab 06-18-2012 10:25 AM
