#2 would be my choice.

Quilter Day-by-Day 08-29-2010 07:14 AM

My choice is #2. #3 is to plain #1 too much blue. I really like piano keys I have done one and yes its more work but really pretty.

grannypat7925 08-29-2010 08:20 AM

Definitely choice 1.

I am sorry you had difficulty doing the piano key borders. It is my go to choice for a quick border because it is so easy to adjust if you miscalculated along the way.

It's hard to choose between #1 and #2, but if I have to, I choose #2.

Judith 08-29-2010 10:13 AM

I, too, love number one. It's very pretty.

MadQuilter 08-29-2010 10:26 AM

I like the one with the blue border and the piano keys. The first one - while very pretty - almost asks for another broader border in my opinion.

Kyiav10 08-29-2010 10:32 AM

I like two and three better than one. JMHO.

I like #1.

klgreene 08-29-2010 11:07 AM

# 1 Absolutely.

glenda 08-29-2010 11:48 AM

Go with #3 for all of the above reasons. Nice colors.

wvdek 08-29-2010 11:49 AM

Love #1. It really makes the rest of the quilt come alive. My attention was drawn from the border inward to your lovely blocks.

mawmawbeve_60 08-29-2010 11:55 AM

I Like # 1

betlinsmom 08-29-2010 12:22 PM

Definitely No 1!! Beautiful !! Quilts are time consuming and we do put our hearts and souls into them, dont we?

kaygee 08-29-2010 12:40 PM

I prefer the 3rd. border. It has a more finished look. I think borders #1 and #2 take away from the main quilt. Love the colors and well, everything about the quilt.

I fully agree here, but it is your quilt. What makes you feel good?

# 1 always my favorite

candyce 08-29-2010 03:07 PM

I like the piano key one and have used piano key borders often. I do dislike cutting out the blocks, but I recently got the accuquilt go which has a die that is the perfect size for the blocks.

penski 08-29-2010 03:38 PM

i vote for the first one

Tally Kathy 08-29-2010 03:45 PM

#1 FOR ME. I love the blues and yellows in your quilt.

Nahkohe 08-29-2010 04:03 PM

Hi there. They are all lovely and would suit, but I like #3 as the plain border just has a lovely finish and seems to frame the quilt nicely. Also, this makes the pattern stand out and not seem to be too busy. :)

memoryloss 08-29-2010 04:18 PM

I love the piano key border. Very nice.

Judiw 08-29-2010 04:35 PM

I like # 3

quiltingnana1 08-29-2010 04:41 PM

My vote is number 2... will be anxious to know what you finally decide.

scowlkat 08-29-2010 04:59 PM

I like #1 best but do agree that #3 will allow for some nice quilting space! Love the colors and can't wait to see what you choose.

inletjerry 08-29-2010 05:12 PM

I think #1 is beautiful, but I always try to do the first border that stops the business of the quilt. That is a great border, but kind of continues the quilt look. Just my opinion. But the beauty of quilting is that what we design is of out liking and our personality. Good job.

sulyle 08-29-2010 05:40 PM

I like #2 the best.

Judie 08-29-2010 06:02 PM

Gee, I like #2.. Looks great to me... Number one is too busy.. number 3 too bland..

katcincinnati 08-29-2010 06:03 PM

I love #1, then #2

seasaw2mch 08-29-2010 06:11 PM

I like the 3rd choice but I'm not sure I would put the extra blue around the outside. I like it with just the brown.

Annz 08-29-2010 06:11 PM

I like choice #2. I think the thicker colored squares goes better with the border. #1 in my opinion doesn't look as good because the first border (before the keys) is too thick and makes it look like (with the outer border) the keys are in jail or something. #3 looks nice too but it looks like it was done because it was quick and easy. Therefore I would choose #2. Just my biatchy opinion tonight.

amazon 08-29-2010 06:19 PM

I like # 2. Very nice :thumbup:

IBQUILTIN 08-29-2010 06:31 PM

I love choice #1 too. And piano keys aren't so bad, just strip piecein the colors you want, cut into sections, and sew them together. Not so bad.

Dee 08-29-2010 06:35 PM

My choice is number 3.

Myraquilt 08-29-2010 07:12 PM

I like #1 first, then #2. I think #3 looks too blah.

JudithAnn 08-29-2010 08:03 PM

I vote for...................NUMBER ONE!!!!!

bjdemir 08-29-2010 08:06 PM

I like #'s 2 and 3 but can't decide which one I like best.

Quilting Grandma 08-29-2010 08:16 PM

I love the piano keys. I have done several and love the way they look. Good Luck.

nlgh 08-29-2010 08:40 PM

Go with the one you like best. All 3 look good in the small pictures, but what do you think when you look at the real mccoy?
