Help needed on border
 
3 Attachment(s)
I have designed a wallhanging for my DB for a specific quilting design. I am stumped on the border. I layed out three different designs and like all three but can do only one. I know I can count on my QB friends for some advice. Should it be #1, #2 or #3?

I like all 3 but if I were going to do #2 I would miter the corners. Beautiful quilt.

I like # 1 ok, # 2 would be nice if you mitered the corners- #3 kind of gives it a lopsided look with the opposing star corners.

I like 1 and 2.

I like #1 best. The other two need mitered corners to look right. Maybe you planned that and we're just too literal.;)
Very nice design.

Number one does it for me

I like #1 the best. I have to agree the others would look nicer with mitered corners."

​#1 or #2 with mitered border.

I agree. Miter borders would look best of all.

barny 05-11-2014 02:46 PM

I like no. 1. Or no.3.

I agree with Tartan.

I like #1 best

QUILTNMO 05-11-2014 04:26 PM

i like 2 the best its a pretty quilt!

DebbE 05-11-2014 04:40 PM

Absolutely number 1 -- since your quilt design is off center, I think the four corner stars make a nice contrast to it. Lovely!

I agree and I'm leaning more toward #1.

QuiltnNan 05-11-2014 05:10 PM

i vote for #1

just_the_scraps_m'am 05-11-2014 05:35 PM

#1 looks the best! IMHO

celwood 05-12-2014 03:34 AM

I like 1 and2

I'd like #2 with a mitered corner. But I'm also suggesting to put the 2 corner star blocks on the opposite corners (#3 with the stars in the upper left and lower right corners). The opposing stars would make it look like the stars were tumbling?? Still miter those 2 remaining corners.

Would you like a skinny light blue border before the darker one?

paoberle 05-12-2014 03:44 AM

No question, number 1.

Wanabee Quiltin 05-12-2014 03:50 AM

# 1 is by far the best choice in my opinion.

#1 for me too -#2 seems dark and #3 seems lopsided

QuiltMom2 05-12-2014 04:00 AM

East Coast checking in this morning and casting a vote for number one!

Merry7110 05-12-2014 04:07 AM

I would use #1

Tweety2911 05-12-2014 04:47 AM

Thank you all. I decided on #1 I agree it was the best choice. I didn't have enough fabric to miter corners and that was my dilemma:o I knew I could count on QB!!

granny64 05-12-2014 05:03 AM

I like #1. I think the corner stars add interest to the design.

Taughtby Grandma 05-12-2014 05:06 AM

I vote for the first one.

dd55 05-12-2014 05:11 AM

i like #1 best.

KarenJ 05-12-2014 05:13 AM

Number 1 for me!

thegoatlady 05-12-2014 05:27 AM

#1 definitely!!!

Nanny's dollface 05-12-2014 05:32 AM

I like #1 the best.

MargeD 05-12-2014 06:33 AM

Number 1 is nice, however, on quilts 2 and 3, I'd like to see mitered corners to give the quilt some jazz.

bibi 05-12-2014 07:07 AM

All are nice, but for me number one (1) is the one. It really frames that lovely quilt so nicely.

Auntie V 05-12-2014 07:18 AM

I like #1 best

Friday1961 05-12-2014 07:18 AM

I agree. No. 2 with mitered corners. That's a beautiful quilt and border and the mitered corners will be a great finish.

fivepaws 05-12-2014 07:32 AM

Simple mitered corners on #2 would be perfect if there is enough fabric. Otherwise, I would go with #1.

michelleoc 05-12-2014 07:44 AM

I would like #2 best if the corners were mitered, otherwise #1.

sunny42539 05-12-2014 08:20 AM

I like 2 it looks the best.

Realtorlin 05-12-2014 08:22 AM

I think #1 looks the best. Beautiful quilt!

Aria 05-12-2014 08:32 AM

#1 does it for me! :)
