Well, I posted this information a few posts back, but here it is again. It now says temporarily out of stock. There were 15 yards available earlier. Guess you and I aren't the only two who like it...

#1 Love the colors in your quilt and either setting would be beautiful but #1 is my choice

I like them both, but I think #1 wins out.

There is another way to do this. That would be to separate completely the quilt from the border fabric. No 1 and No 2 both are the same as fabric next to it. By using a different stop border, you would separate the fence rails from the border colors.
What to use for a stop border? Good question. Black? Gold? A very thin line of white? Black is already in the quilt, so that would work.
I guess you would have to try some if you think you might do this.

2nd photo. I love the dark starry fabric, then the turquoise, and the wider final border out of the other dark fabric.

But purple somewhere in there would look great, too!

I like #2 also. I think the inner border should just be a small frame for the quilt. Love the quilt by the way.

I like #2. It appears like it's floating in space, as opposed to anchored to the borders.
