Time to select borders...
 

I am posting two different border ideas. They are very similar. But I have noticed that if I post two possibilities, I can look at them both at the same time easier here than another way that I have found. Plus, then I get input from interested quilters who help me decide. :)

I know each of these borders "bleeds" into a fabric from the center, but that has never bothered me.

I am just trying to decide which I like better. Which do you like better? Thanks for any opinions.

(This is the Warm Wishes pattern, and the focus fabric is galaxies. I got four space fabrics for Christmas and love all four. I had hoped to put them all in one quilt, but it just was too busy looking. This galaxy fabric is my favorite of the four. The other 3 I will use later.)

I vote for #1....beautiful quilt

i'm no help I like them both
i love the colors in your quilt too.

Number two, but both will be beautiful!!!

Option #2 for me. It's more dramatic.

Number 2.
Beautiful quilt!

#2. Love your colors.

I love that quilt & those colors are just awesome! Can you tell us the name of that galaxy fabric & where it came from? I vote for #2 borders.

Border #2.

hmmm, i kind of like the darker inner border one myself. Interesting!

Adding my vote for number 2 also. Sharonve

I like border #2. The dark inner border puts a frame around the quilt.

Number 1 ............

I like #2 best.

Number 2, it's galaxy-er looking. And as quiltsRfun said earlier in these responses, it's more dramatic.

i like the second that separates the inner pattern from the outer borders

I like 2 best!

I like the #2

#2 is my fave

It is from Fabric.com. It also seems to be at a clearance price, less than my husband paid for it...

I like #1, but without the purple in the inner border, just the turquoise. I think that one has more energy and movement to it. Both are beautiful.

I like them both but if I had to choose I'd go with #2. You can't go wrong either way.

#2 is my choice

They are both beautiful but I like #1 best.

I like the second one better. Will you use a total of three? I like the two narrow and one wide that you have on display.

Number 2 for me.:)

second one.

Both really beautiful! But I prefer No. 2 Awesome quilt!!

Border #2 for me too. Very beautiful quilt

Yes, the second one has 3 borders. I am currently leaning towards that one.

Dina

I prefer number two. Might play a little with the width of the black border. Another nicely done quilt Dina.

I'm loving number one!

Thanks everyone for your votes! It is about decision time, and I am still leaning towards the second, so that one may be it.....maybe, possibly, could be.....:)

Thanks for the source of this beautiful fabric, Dina. I can't wait to see it finished with backing & quilting.

For me it's #2!

I like number #1 better. To my eye the blocks of focus fabric (the galaxy fabric) that abut the border disappear in choice #2 but they are more vibrant and come to the forefront in #1. #2 also seems to darken the overall appearance of the quilt but that could simply be monitor perception.

I like the #2 border. It will be gorgeous.

Well, I love the way the squares float in the first one, but the 2nd is definitely more "celestial" and dramatic!

#2 does it for me, too.
