I agree with you - the smaller border is much more attractive.

Sometimes less is more. The smaller border lets the quilt design stand out!

I like the smaller borders much better, it's more pleasing to the eye.

I like the 3" border. 6" would be good if the quilt were larger, but it's too much for this size quilt. JMHO

Either one is nice, my preference is the wider border. Great job on color choices.

It looks really cool both ways but it has a different look. With the plain narrow border the center looks like a barn raising. With the larger border, you lose that "on point" look and it looks more like an uneven 9patch. Just depends on which YOU like best! Like Rick Nelson sang, "You can't please everyone so you have to please yourself."

I choose the wider border; makes the quilt look finished!
