Which Fabric for the Border?!!
 
1 Attachment(s)
Working on my Relay for life quilt. It looks a little ruff because I haven't snipped the edges around the blocks---it is going to have a short raggy look between the blocks.

So what border do you think would be best?!!

I think the plain fabric is the best. The printed fabrics take away from the blocks! JMO

I like the plain purple best. Brings more attention to the blocks I think.

sassey 03-10-2012 05:17 PM

Ivote for plain too

The purple print

I like the plain purple. The others are to busy. I love your blocks.

I'm for the plain purple. It will set the blocks off nicely. The others are too busy & will detract from the blocks.

purple. :)

Purple really works well and shows off the blocks the best.
peace

Purple swirls

Another vote for the purple. It's going to be a lovely quilt.

Purple print.

Well, I think you've got your answer, but put me down for the purple! :)

I'm an odd one out - I like the butterflies on black, especially after your "rag' the seams.

QuiltnNan 03-10-2012 06:52 PM

i like the purple

paulettepoe 03-10-2012 07:24 PM

I like the butterflies.

sew1 03-10-2012 07:25 PM

My vote goes for the purple.

Dina 03-10-2012 07:28 PM

Well, I hate to agree with everyone, but I do. I think the purple swirls look really good. I also love the butterfly prints, but not for the border on this. It will be a great quilt!

I agree with you, so we can be 'two' odd one outs. :)

I like your quilt, and my choice is the black with the butterflies. I heard butterflies mean good luck and the cause you are making it for seems appropriate.

Prettiptibbs 03-10-2012 07:55 PM

My choice would be the butterflies on black print.

BLAP 03-11-2012 09:30 AM

I vote for the purple.

mississippiqltr 03-11-2012 09:49 AM

The purple, the others take away from the quilt. Eyes move toward the movement in the other pieces.

Thanks ya'll I'm still up in the air. I personally like the black with butterflies. In Cancer, butterflies signify a Survivor. BUT the purple swirl has words of encouragement and purple ribbons which is the color of Relay.

Think, think think.

Oh bother!

NOELLA 03-11-2012 01:14 PM
