I don't think the pink paisley is needed. I always like a darker outer border.

I love your quilt. The pink paisley is pretty, but I like it better with the butterflies for the outter border.

Love it with the pink. It brings out the pink in the center area. Love the quilt!

tiptrinket 06-18-2012 10:49 AM

Both are very nice, but I think I like the pink on it the best!

matraina 06-18-2012 11:24 AM

I like it without. The darker border puts a great finish on it. It says it's all done. Very pretty!

Without the pink border gives your eye a stopping place! But either way is lovely.

My vote is without the pink. Beautiful quilt!

Ditto! Lovely quilt!

I think it is beautiful both ways so I really can't help.

I like it without the pink paisley border. The center is vibrant enough, I wouldn't detract from it.

gin 06-18-2012 02:22 PM

both ways look great - but I prefer it without the pink

Walter'sMom 06-18-2012 02:32 PM

I vote for without the pink, but had a good giggle over the about equal split between all of us. Not sure how you will decide, but either way the quilt is very pretty.

I think that the paisley border 'softens' the look of your beautiful quilt.

I like it without the pink border. The black floral forms a perfect frame.

It is beautiful! I vote for......without the pink.

chuckbere15 06-18-2012 07:13 PM

My vote is without, but either great job!

cathyvv 06-18-2012 07:32 PM

No Pink! very striking without it, not so much with the pink. beautiful quilt either way though.

I like it without the pink; the butterfly one brings out the purple. Guess it depends on what you want to bring out more; I agree without the pink makes it "pop" and looks richer.... I went back to look again and it actually brings out the pink also.

It is so beautiful ending with the butterfly and ric-rac binding! To me the pink paisly looks like an add on to make it larger and if that is what you really need it does look o.k. but without it, it's just absolutely striking.

Without the pink.

I like it without the paisley.

glenda 06-19-2012 08:58 AM

Looks like you need a deciding vote. I liked the pink until I noticed the black/gold braid on the edge of the first border. Leave off the pink.

rusty quilter 06-19-2012 01:16 PM

Got to go without the pink--seems too busy with it.

I like it with just the darker border.

ShabbyTabby 06-19-2012 04:30 PM

I vote for no pink. I think it's much richer looking with just the dark border. JMHO

mom-6 06-19-2012 04:34 PM

I almost always want my finish to be dark rather than light. But that pink sure is pretty! I can see why you are having a hard time deciding!

Taughtby Grandma 06-19-2012 05:35 PM

For me, it would depend on what size you needed the quilt to be. I like the quilt with the dark border and with the pink one. Very pretty.
