Which border fabric do you like best, A, B, C or D?

sewbeadit 04-03-2013 10:24 PM

I really like A nice quilt

annt59 04-03-2013 10:37 PM

A looks best to me.

bjchad 04-03-2013 10:44 PM

I like c best but also like b. don't like d at all for this.

TeresaS 04-03-2013 10:49 PM

I like A and B. Pretty quilt!

Annaquilts 04-03-2013 10:51 PM

B or C to offset all the rectangular lines in the pattern. I like C the best personally. The strong circular lines and how thick the white lines are appeal to me. Beautiful quilt!

fien777 04-03-2013 11:03 PM

Like B the best and then C.......sorry, but I don't like D in this

Gannyrosie 04-04-2013 01:17 AM

C gets my vote. Wonderful contrast.

katier825 04-04-2013 01:53 AM

I love B...but I am partial to curlicues!

Puddin57 04-04-2013 02:27 AM

my eye kept going back to A...so that's my pick

charsuewilson 04-04-2013 02:34 AM

I like A or B for the border, because they're smaller prints. I really like the fabric C, though.

QuiltnNan 04-04-2013 02:40 AM

to me, your quilt pattern is a little traditional, so i would choose border B.

mic-pa 04-04-2013 02:56 AM

What a beautful quilt, would love to see a picture of the whole thing. A or C would be my pick for a border .

quiltin-nannie 04-04-2013 02:59 AM

My choice in order: B, A, C, D.

I agree. I would choose B. It keeps my eye focused on the body of the quilt and not just the border.

nygal 04-04-2013 03:07 AM

I vote for C.

nycquilter 04-04-2013 03:07 AM

anyone but D==A and B are top choices but C would work too. If you can't decide, close your eyes then pick one. Your feeling when you open your eyes will let you know if it's the choice you like best.

Sunnie 04-04-2013 03:09 AM

A is my favorite with B a strong second.

rebeljane 04-04-2013 03:23 AM

I like B the best :)

alikat110 04-04-2013 03:40 AM

B, A, then C. Dont use D.

patmadrid 04-04-2013 03:49 AM

I like B the best.

NanaCindyLou 04-04-2013 03:57 AM

I like all the fabric but like A best for the border. Beautiful quilt!

QM 04-04-2013 04:02 AM

IMHO, NOT D, either A or B. Be syre to show us what you end up with.

BDawn 04-04-2013 04:13 AM

B is my favorite, A close 2nd

RonieM 04-04-2013 04:15 AM

I like B. A is to "modern" looking for me and D makes my eyes go wonky. C is to "bold" - I don't think it compliments the quilt.

quilt1950 04-04-2013 04:16 AM

I like A & C best. Definitely not D

tezell0801 04-04-2013 04:29 AM

A = 1
B = 2

Dislike D

Teeler 04-04-2013 04:47 AM

B
C
A

(nope, I didn't forget D...not partial to D for this application)

Grandma of 6 04-04-2013 04:54 AM

Looks like going with anything other than D will work. I was partial to A at first but then after reading other people's choices it seems either B or C is a no brainer. Have fun!

bigsister63 04-04-2013 04:59 AM

Will you post pic of the entire quilt? It looks like a very lovely quilt so we would like to see the whole quilt. Especially before choosing border fabric. Thanks.

michelleoc 04-04-2013 06:52 AM

I like A because it's geometric and goes with your quilt top. Definite no on D - it makes me dizzy!

pollyjvan9 04-04-2013 07:14 AM

I go for B

irishrose 04-04-2013 07:19 AM

B is my choice.

Dolphyngyrl 04-04-2013 07:51 AM

I like B the best

barny 04-04-2013 07:55 AM

My eye goes to A also. It complements the quilt, but doesn't take over like the others.

QuiltnLady1 04-04-2013 08:16 AM

I like B or C.

Ditto for me!

Scissor Queen 04-04-2013 09:00 AM

I'm with everybody else, not D. I think my favorite is B. I will also add that the first wide white border makes the final border seem disconnected from the rest of the quilt.

MamaDonna 04-04-2013 09:03 AM

Love the quilt. My choice is B then A then C and forget D...
