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?

Think border with the snakeskin 3, then a wider with the giraffe.....
Great quilt....

Believe it or not I really like the snake skin one

LOVE the first one! :)

Well I went with half and half of each, the peron I made it for I don't think woul like all snake, even tho that was my first choice it is a lap quilt 56x66

No snakes here. I like the giraffe best. The snake skin competes with the blocks to me and then becomes the focal point...

It turned out very nice!!

I definitely like the second one best.

Looks great, she will love it,

The snake print overpowers the blocks in the quilt and takes away from the overall beauty of the quilt. I vote for the giraffe. Nice quilt by the way.

Your choice adds so much interest to a beautful quilt. Well done!

I like the gold border but put a small border of black maybe a faux border before the gold and snake binding.

I vote for #1.

I would opt for the snake too but the idea of a thin black band and then the giraffe sounds good too. Would love to see it when it's finished. I so love animal prints.

I really like the contrast that the snakeskin provides.

I love it with the snake skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I vote for #1. I do like both though, but number 1 wins with me. good luck with the one you choose.

I like the first border best...my rule always is when in doubt, go darker.

I like this idea.

I prefer the darker contrast so the snakeskin gets my vote.

Instead of using one or the other, how about using both? A narrow border of snake and then a wide border of the gold. I love that gold, but the sashing is too much the same color to have it right next to it.

Love your quilt.

I like the first one...Beautiful quilt...

This would be so pretty. Great combo.

The contrast with #1 looks better , IMHO. But if it were me, since the snake is not an animal like the others, I would use a narrow black flange, or as someone else said, a narrow black inner border, and then go with #2.

I like the snake skin print. I would also consider what is on the back. If it is the giraffe print then I would use that and the same print for the border. What a fun quilt. I am humming "In the jungle, the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight,....."

While I like the darker color, I would not want to be sleeping with a snake!
Perhaps a smaller black trim sash and then the giraffe print would be better.
You asked for opinions.

I like Bearisgrays suggestion.

First one I like the best

The first one for sure. Beautiful job!
