Ok here is my problem...I am making quilts for my kiddos for Christmas. I had some charm packs and a jelly roll from the MODA NEPTUNE line. I used the charms to make a quilt center and I am using some of the jelly roll to make another quilt center. I am going to add a 10-inch border around each side of both quilts to make them a good sized lap/tv/travel quilt...we are BIG blanket people! LOL I have the charm center done and now I am stuck. Hubby said I have to wait for a few weeks for more fabric money (he bought a new dragster today)...story for another day! Anyway, I have 2 full black sheets and 2 green black sheets. I have already determined that I don't like the green for the border...the sheets are older and the very lightest of the green colors of the fabric line. I also determined that for the black border with a green binding. So I thought maybe the green on the back and black for the border and binding (not sure I LOVE it though). Then I thought well black border, black back, and black binding (better, but still not sure I LOVE it). I don't know what to do. I do have some left over fabric money that I could buy one of the matching black prints to add as the border. I think the front would look better and give it more visual appeal. Am I just being too picky...OPINIONS please!

Here is the fabric that I would get for the border. This fabric is hard to find so I need to do it quick if that is what I decide to do...

The picture makes the squares look navy, but it really is black and Charcoal grays...

I like the black with that black border fabric :D :D :D

What would you do for the binding?

I really like the green with it......and you could if you wanted to leave the backing large enough where you could bring it around to the front and finish it off......tada!!!

How about a skinny inner border in the black, say 1", then the green in the width of the squares, then bind with the black again. :D

I really like the black.

I think I am going to go with the black...
Thanks for the input guys :)

The black makes the color in the quilt POP The green washes out the color...... It could be the photo washing out the color.... I like the black.

I wanna see the pic of the Dragster!! :mrgreen:
