Need an opinion for borders Please
#11
I like the last one...but I prefer it when the border doesn't match any of the edge pieces :roll: :D What about the colour of the stars??? :D
Edit: Just been back for a second look...I defo think a light inner border using the same light fabric of the stars...then a dark one to finish :D Just my personal choice of course....you go with what you think best :D :lol: :wink:

I agree with Izzy about a light border, then i would put #6 on the outside. I had to look and look at first, leaning toward #1, but when i saw the blue...and with a lighter border first to bring out the lights in the center...YEAH! that's my 2 cents :wink:

two more cents...you know, to help the economy, lol...
maybe print out your choices...tape in a circle at eye level. Leave the room, and walk in, head down and when you look up, the first one that 'jumps' out at you.
A lady I used to work with gave me a very good piece of advice one time when I was stumped by two choices:
pick one and if you keep feeling uncomfortable with it, you know you really wanted the other one. :wink:
I really use this as a rule of thumb, and it has worked for over 30 years. I was five then, LOL!!!...and I have some beachfront property cheap too!!! :lol:

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try to get a picture of the lt tan narrow border with #1 and #6, when I get home from work. I usually use a narrow border on my quilts but the pattern for this one didn't use the narrow border, just the one at 5.5" unfinshed. I could also pull a fabric that is not in the quilt and see how that looks too. But too many choices makes it harder to choose!!!
