Looking for help selecting borders....
 
3 Attachment(s)
I am trying to decide which of three borders would look best. Which do you prefer? (I have played with about 30 different ideas and have it down to these three.) This is a block of the month that I am ready to finish. (I thought perhaps that doing a block of the month would teach me patience. It hasn't. :) )

Thanks for any opinions.

I like the blue, but you do what you like. Either one would work.

I like the blue as well.

I like the red but would like a small inner border of the floral print ... or vice versa.

I'll be different, I love the blue but would add a tiny flange type red insert between the blue and the white. JMT. :)

I like the blue. I'm not a red person, but the red along looks good, too. I don't like the 2 colors together. Maybe a little red plus a blue border would be good.

I like the last option - white, then blue, then red.

My first choice would be picture #3 and second choice would be picture #1. Beautiful sampler :thumbup:

I also like option 3 the best. But where is the quilt going? If you are gifting it to a particular person, that might help you make a decision. All three borders look great, so I think its more of a personal taste problem.

It will probably be a charity quilt, but I still want it to look as good as it can.

Thanks, everyone, for your opinions. I haven't made any final decisions yet. Got to sleep on it, at least. :)
