Witch boarder help me decide
 

This is my wild animal quilt top in the works the pattern shows the border that is split one half giraffe and the other half is the snake skin, should in do as the pattern or make it all the same of either pattern and if so which pattern?

i like the first one best:) great job

Top has more contrast! I vote #1

I think I would like about a half inch black border around the main part and then the gold border.

The snakeskin puts more contrast against the sashing.

Snake skin all the way! It looks like a giant snake circling the quilt.

I like the snakeskin best. It has more contrast with the sashing and sets off the main part of the quilt better.

I would try a narrow border of the lighter color, then a wider border of the darker #1

I think the giraffe print is in keeping with the other mammal prints. The snake is a reptile print. If you are working a theme here I would stay with the furry animal prints and not the reptile print.

A very nice quilt you have there.

EDIT: I like bears idea of going with a narrow black border and then the giraffe. Very nice.
peace

the black and white snakeskin does look the best but man, do I hate snakes! Don't you have enough of the black/white animal prints you could use instead?
