    Putting boarders on a panel I brought and hope to give to my mom. It would make a great wall hanging but not sure if I should add another boarder of red or leave well enough alone and make a binding out of the red.

    What do you think?

    Without

    With extra red boarder

    Without the extra border. I love the green, red, green. The extra red one is overkill. That's just one person's opinion!

    I vote for only one red border.

    I like them both but would probably just bind it in red.

    I I think ending the quilt with red is beautiful. Nice job

    For a wall hanging, I'd skip the last border. It's just right the way it is.

    I like ending with the red. Kinda boring ending with the green. But, that's just me.

    I'm not going to be much help. I think it can go either way. If you want it a bit bigger, add the red. If the size is good as is, leave it.
