Well worth all the unsewing and resewing.

Wow, that's an amazing quilt. Glad you persevered... It's fabuloso! I like it plain with no borders, but then I'm not a big border person. If you just have to have one, the big floral on the right goes best with your colors and style, I think.

The larger print border actually helps pull out all the colors. A single color border would tend to make you see that color predominately. Great design- what size are your pinwheels?

Don't like any of the borders.They compete with the simple pinwheels.I would use softer borders.....Love pinwheels.....

That would be my choice. I think it pulls out the beautiful colors in the quilt Love what you have done.

I like the border on the right or no border. Beautiful design.

Love, love, love it! What a great idea. I like the border on the right - it holds up well with the drama of the quilt.

I also like the large flower, colors seem to draw out colors in the pinewheels.

Beautiful Quilt! I love the big flower border, but my eye was drawn there first and not your beautiful quilt. I think the purple border is the way to go so the eye is drawn to your quilt rather then the border. I hope you share when you are finished. It's lovely!
