2# I Love My Cat

I like the Love My Cat

I guess I'm having trouble with the width of the border... seems like it should be wider; as wide as one 'cat block' to balance the look. I like the thin black to rest the eyes before the outside border color....which could be anything... pink is as good as any, but I'd make it wider!
Good luck.

I would keep the border simple since the cats are so interesting to look at.

I like them all and have some more suggestions. Do you have enough of the blue of the sunglasses to do a narrow boarder and then the Love Me fabric? I like the idea of using it somewhere and think it would look good next to the black. You did a great job with the blocks. It is a really cute quilt however you finish it.

I vote for the Love my cats border.

It really really is a cute quilt. I think I like the two color border with a narrow solid and wider print. Whatever you decide will be adorable, so just go with what feels good to you

I like #3, the small black circles.

Me, too. I thought "one of those pinks or corals" before I ever saw your choices. The quilt -- which is very cute, by the way! -- is already busy, so the solid border doesn't steal from it but calms it.

Narrow blackplus color. Black forms a nice frame which makes cats pop. If border is too much like the cat blocks, everything just blends together.
