opinions please - sorry I am so needy
 

This quilt has been the biggest struggle that I have had in a looooong time. Thank you to everyone who replied on my earlier post, but I abandoned the hourglass blocks for this quilt. This fabric is just to subtle with soft hues to take much competition from other blocks and colors.

I decided to go with just with simple block with green sashing. So far I like it, but I am stuck on the borders.

I feel like it needs a different color thrown in but I can't decide which way to go. What do you guys think? or any suggestions?

I really like the orange inner border. I would also use the same
fabric as the sashing for the final border.

I second the orange

I would probably use the same fabric and color of the sashes.

I like the first photo, but I'd try the blue instead of the orange. But the orange is nice too.

Oh the orange inner border just popped out at me. It picks up the orange in the quilt and give it some ZING!

I like the matching one.

My preference is for the orange inner border.

I like the first one, it's cohesive and soothing.

I'm with easy peezy

I like the same color outer border (same as sash) and either the orange or blue inner border to bring out either preferred color from the pattern.

That's how I feel too. And the orange frames it so nicely; not too much, not too little, just perfect in my opinion.

I would use the same fabric for the border and binding as you have used for the sashing.

It's a sweet little print - let it be seen.

If you want bright - use it for the backing.

Stick with the winning combo you already have .... Just use the same green as your sashings are for the border/binding. The simplicity, subtlety and softness of your quilt is why it looks so nice.

I am guessing your sashings are only one inch finished. Yes? No?
If so, how about stopping where you are now, and just put a binding on that is the same one inch, with no further borders. Of course, that is, if the quilt is large enough. If it needs to be larger, just stick with the same green for the border and binding.

I really like how you did this quilt!!! I like it a lot better than when you had the hourglasses in it. Good job!!!!!!
I really like that skinny orange- sets it off nicely.
You have a winner, no matter what you choose (except that dark blue, I don't like it on there lol) :)

PS. I none of us were needy we wouldn't need the board, right? :)

I would do the second picture. I love all things orange, and your deep blue is a great color, but you have a low volume quilt that is lovely, honor that decision and keep it low volume.

I like the smaller orange sash and then the blue for the larger sash.....they pull out the colors from the main blocks beautiful. However, we all have different feelings but that pulls the colors from the blocks and makes everything pulled together. Have fun and do what you like!!!!

The first picture. Too much green/teal in the other pictures.

I would use the blue, possibly with an inner border of the sashing fabric.

Love the skinny orange sets it off nicely ,,Beautiful quilt

I think this is what I'd do.

I like the second from bottom with the narrow blue and wider green. I like that green better than the brighter green. How about the thin orange and that green in a wider border?

Blue inner border with outer border same as sashing. Might make the inner border a little wider.

Also I wonder what binding with that pink would look like Might clash too much with the orange or maybe not since it is in your main fabric too.

You gave lots of options and have gotten as many opinions! :D Good luck making your decision.

Orange inner with the blue outer border, very nice!

I like the sashing as inner border - it finishes the sashing then the green or blue for the outer border.

I really like option 3 it just feels right. Whatever you decide will be fabulous.

Yes, I agree.

Options 2 and 4 are the choices I like the least. I can't wait to see what you go with!

i like the second picture because it is soft and carries on the soft theme of the quilt.

I like them all so whatever you chose will be great!! If I had to pick just one, I agree with narrow orange one:)

Since it is just an opinion, to me the orange draws the eye to the orange and takes away from actually looking at the print in the blocks. It is a soft print quilt, and having the borders really bright takes my eyes from the actual body of the quilt - therefore, I would opt for a border to be the same as the block sashing, with no big contrast color between.
But it will be lovely and loved, however you do it.

I would also use the orange for inner border, but then I would add the blue for a wider outer border and bind with maybe the same fabric as your sashing? Good luck, please show us your final decision.

After looking again at your soft print, Maybe not the orange, but the soft pink for inner border, then the blue.

I think it depends on your favorite color - orange or blue. But, with either one as the inner narrow border, I would use the sashing color for the outer border. I feel the color gives the eye a good stop and the sash color for the outer just finishes it nicely. (For the record, I would use the blue, but, blue is always been my favorite color!)

My vote is for the orange inner border ~

That is such a cute print! I would love to know the name of it and the manufacturer etc. It's funny to me that when you put the small border of whatever color then you notice that collor on the little figures. All of a sudden their wardrobe etc. stand out. I agree the color of your sashings should be the border.

I vote orange. It's a happy color!

I agree!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I am getting close to deciding...maybe ;)
