Your eye needs a place to "rest"......I'd sure try a dark green strip next to the blocks. Would audition a 2" strip first. Then see if the border print looks right.

I too would skip a light border and just put the panel border right next to the quilt.

another vote for just using the order panel. the way it is designed frames the quilt gorgeously.
i would of course audition the darker green solid though...because multiple mats around a picture always look pretty good to me :) aileen |
Isn't it funny how we all like different ways to put the colors!
I myself like the gold with the stripped boarder the best. I thought the gold brought out the blocks colors and made them jump out. |
I agree, I think it needs a dark almost solid strip to separate the border from the blocks!! Your blocks are gorgeous!!!!

I think if you use a dark color green fabric ( with just a bit of metallic) and make a skinny border all the other choices will stand out and be more appealing. I think you aren't getting enough separation from the blocks to the border.

I agree with you. that one looks very rich to me. oops. didn't go where it should. the one on the left second down is the one I like best.
|
In your first set of pictures, I like the second one down on the left side.

Your quilt is lovely! I agree on the printed border fabric without any light inner strip. If you decide to add a narrow inner border, then I'd suggest something quite dark as I feel it frames such a 'majestic' quilt better than a pale colour. :)

Border fabric only is my vote. Going to be beautiful!
