I'm trying to use up my Gone with the Wind scraps and I'm debating whether or not the brown is "too" much of a border. I'm leaning towards -- it looks fine. I really don't want to have to go out and buy a border and I'm limited to options in my stash.

Opinions?????

Is green better?????

I like it!

JulieR 07-26-2011 09:50 AM

I like it, too!

Lori S 07-26-2011 09:51 AM

I think your instincts are telling you something....
For my taste it is "too" much,

amma 07-26-2011 09:56 AM

Maybe a narrow border and then finish it with a darker more solid? :D:D:D

I think it's a lot. My instinct is to go suggest something more calming and not so busy.

Murphy 07-26-2011 10:03 AM

Trust your instincts. Too busy is how it reads to me and I think a calmer, less busy border would be more pleasing to you.

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!! I love Gone with the Wind!!

scraphq 07-26-2011 10:11 AM

I like your choice.

BrendaY 07-26-2011 10:14 AM

Tough decision for you, with a fairly even split in helpers choices...

But I think it's fabulous..

jme 07-26-2011 10:15 AM

Use it, looks great!

redquilter 07-26-2011 10:15 AM

I think I would like it better if it wasn't so wide.

needles3thread 07-26-2011 10:17 AM

Both are nice, but I favor the green.

GGinMcKinney 07-26-2011 10:17 AM

I love the green border!

QweenBee 07-26-2011 10:17 AM

I like the green better, more claming less BUSY TRAFFIC! You don't want your eyes to pull you toward the border do you? Great job on the center blocks though!! :thumbup:

I liked it too, then I scrolled down and saw the green. I like the green better...it think...lots of help eh?

QuiltnNan 07-26-2011 10:25 AM

i vote for the green.

Teapots and Quilts 07-26-2011 10:27 AM

It's busy, but I like it!

Conniebury 07-26-2011 10:28 AM

I like the green too.

QuiltnCowgirl 07-26-2011 10:28 AM

The green is better. Might see what it looks like to bind with the brown print?

Kehoeta 07-26-2011 10:31 AM

Green - With the other one - the eye never rests. It diminishes the other good work you have done.

sunrise450 07-26-2011 10:37 AM

Oh! I love the green border. Just makes that quilt!

boohoofish 07-26-2011 10:45 AM

I like the green the best. Carol

yonnikka 07-26-2011 10:46 AM

yes --it is too much because it is distracting.

raedar63 07-26-2011 10:49 AM

I like the green. Pretty quilt:)

butterflies5518 07-26-2011 10:52 AM

I like the green, compliments and pulls the other colors together for me.

merrylouw 07-26-2011 10:53 AM

I like the green in the last picture better, if you have enough of it. It pulls it all together nicely.

The quilt is really nice, BTW!

NancyG 07-26-2011 10:59 AM

I think the green border looks nicer.

cjsparks 07-26-2011 11:01 AM

I like the green. I doesn't compete.

buslady 07-26-2011 11:01 AM

One more vote for the green

Central Ohio Quilter 07-26-2011 11:02 AM

I like the green border better! Gives a calmer and more uniform effect.

nativetexan 07-26-2011 11:03 AM

i like the green better myself. great quilt!

arkansasquilter123 07-26-2011 11:04 AM

I personally like the green, but it is my OPINION. Do what makes you happy.

btiny36 07-26-2011 11:08 AM

Nice quilt BTW. If it were me I would use the green, it calms it down.

sidmona 07-26-2011 11:09 AM
