I like the green, maybe even some black, think the first one is too much. Pretty quilt though, great job!

charhend 07-27-2011 03:26 PM

I really like the green fabric

BobbiG 07-27-2011 03:36 PM

too much!

Lucky Lady 07-27-2011 03:38 PM

Beautiful quilt. I like the green better.

nursie76 07-27-2011 03:38 PM

Like them both, but I think the green looks richer and sets it all off perfectly.

JuneBillie 07-27-2011 03:48 PM

Oh I hope someday to have some of the "Gone With the Wind" fabric. I am a real fan of it.

MelodyWB 07-27-2011 03:53 PM

www.fabric.com has quite a bit of Gone With The Wind Fabric

Leota 07-27-2011 03:58 PM

wow that's a toughy...
I like brown because it is used in the quilt top and ties everything together but I also like the green...

I'd go with the brown unless you have another project that the brown would be better for...

CactusFlower 07-27-2011 04:04 PM

I like it just the way you have it laid out

I think the first border piece would look nice as the binding with the green next to the pink as the border for what it is worth.

Maybe1day

sahm4605 07-27-2011 04:11 PM

do the green then the brown one. it will help complete it better.

debby wicke 07-27-2011 04:11 PM

I prefer the green border.

isharu2 07-27-2011 04:21 PM

I like the green. Shows off the center better.

I like the green better. Just my personal preference.

grannypat7925 07-27-2011 04:37 PM

Either one looks good to me.

I agree with Scotch.

I like the green also.

seasaw2mch 07-27-2011 05:33 PM

I like the darker green much better because it doesn't show as much design elements so it doesn't compete with the design in the quilt itself.
Also it brings out the Gone with the Wind squares with the couple in it.

quiltmom04 07-27-2011 05:43 PM

One thing strikes me about the "old south' and that it was way over the top. I think the print border is fine!

Quiltaddict 07-27-2011 05:47 PM

I really like the green better.

ShabbyTabby 07-27-2011 05:49 PM

I love the quilt...I also vote for the green. It seems to just "fit" the best. But it's your quilt and anyway you chose to finish it will be lovely.

sew1 07-27-2011 06:35 PM

I like it with the green.

Phannie1 07-27-2011 06:38 PM

I think is calling for a solid. fiddle dee... I will think about it tomorrow!

Taughtby Grandma 07-27-2011 06:39 PM

I like the green

Maureen 07-27-2011 06:42 PM

Me too, the green looks better. Not too busy like the other

quilter_kjm 07-27-2011 06:43 PM

yes the green. you need to give the eye a rest.

Great-great granny 07-27-2011 06:44 PM

If you have the green, I like that.

Me, too! I like the first one, I think it is in keeping with the time period.

quilter_kjm 07-27-2011 06:46 PM

yes the green. you need to give the eye a rest. I personally would use a black on black if that is the dark color in the flower print. and I would put a small strip of the pink in one or three spots in the black border. not too far apart.maybe two in the bottom not too far apart and not evenly spaced and one around th right side of the border.dIt is a realy nice quilt and it need a zinger. (just my opinion):)

wildyard 07-27-2011 08:12 PM

It was just "ok" to me until I saw the green. The green is perfect IMHO.

I agree...it just appears too busy.
I don't have a suggest I'm afraid.

madamekelly 07-27-2011 09:03 PM

To me, the green border just screams Scarlett! I love it.

rona thickpenny 07-27-2011 10:20 PM

How about a narrow green next to the pink then the print fabric?
