Blue Angels need help with borders
 
4 Attachment(s)
I am suffering from brain fog and need your advice. This is a quilt for my other DSIL and it is a work that started one way and through talking to me (you know how that is :-) has ended up with the green sashing w/blue cornerstones to add some color and it matches the border fabric. I think the white background in the blocks is throwing me off. Here are four borders thoughts which do you like best?
I appreciate your talents and expertise! Thank you so much

I agree the blue- darker green dots , then blue floral :) Very pretty

Dyan 03-31-2012 07:47 AM

I like the first one.

crafty pat 03-31-2012 07:56 AM

Very pretty, I like the blue, dot's and floral also.

red-warrior 03-31-2012 08:02 AM

I like the 1st one.

alikat110 03-31-2012 08:12 AM

i"m voting for the 4th one. love the little pop of gold to frame the quilt.

ranger 03-31-2012 08:23 AM

I love the blues that are in this quilt..they have such a rich look..

I like the third pic...blue.....but narrower size, green dot...maybe a bit wider and then floral.

Baloonatic 03-31-2012 08:26 AM

I really like that dark green dot fabric, I wish my LQS carried it. As far as your borders, I think I like the last pic the best. The narrow gold fabric brings life to the whole quilt, and is framed nicely by the darker fabrics to either side! It's going to be gorgeous whichever one you choose!

This is a beautiful quilt and whatever you pick will be wonderful....I like the dk. green larger dots followed by the floral.

jenOSU 03-31-2012 09:16 AM

Blue, green dots, blue floral. Great choices to choose from!

QuiltnNan 03-31-2012 09:56 AM

rosealee 03-31-2012 10:01 AM

I like the first one

Fraew 03-31-2012 10:30 AM

Yes to gold frame and floral border. I could go either way on the green vs. blue. Beautiful fabrics!

I agree. The gold adds to it.

ShabbyTabby 03-31-2012 10:52 AM

I also like the last one best. The gold really set it off especially with the gold in the border. Very pretty quilt.

ruthie 03-31-2012 11:07 AM

I like the last one.

dunster 03-31-2012 11:25 AM

I like #1 or 3, don't personally care for the gold. Didn't you know you would get different answers? That's because all of them are good borders, so go with what appeals most to you.

Taughtby Grandma 03-31-2012 11:32 AM

I like the second and last ones. For me it would depend on what size I needed the quilt to be. I think the gold ties the blocks an border together more.

madelinkk 03-31-2012 11:35 AM

The first one.

sassy granny 03-31-2012 12:24 PM

I like the last one best. The thin gold strip seems to bring out the colors in the floral piece. BTW they are all pretty and will be ok whichever you choose.

CajunQuilter2 03-31-2012 12:30 PM

I like the 3rd pic the best. good luck deciding

quiltlady 03-31-2012 12:47 PM

number 3 would be my choice

hopetoquilt 03-31-2012 01:47 PM

Loved the first. Then saw the third and loved the third. Oh...choices

thebossbab 03-31-2012 02:13 PM

I kept going back and forth as I'm sure you are doing! I really like the 3rd one but maybe have the 1st blue not as wide. I didn't like the gold in the 2nd pictures but I did like it in the 4th picture...so that is my 2nd choice! Very pretty quilt.

thimblebug6000 03-31-2012 02:32 PM

I prefer the 1st one, the gold doesn't seem to "relate" to the rest of the fabrics. IMHO

Donna H-M 03-31-2012 03:03 PM

I like the first one too :)

janetter 03-31-2012 03:35 PM

the last pic is so inclusive of all the colors in the floral border that it blends the whole thing together. they are all lovely, just like the flow of the last pic. I think it is the way it makes the gold stand out in the floral print, otherwise it kind of fades. Good Luck

tammy cosper 03-31-2012 03:39 PM

This is very pretty!

mighty 03-31-2012 04:02 PM

I like the blue, dots, and floral.

silver queen 03-31-2012 04:36 PM

I like the pop of gold

nativetexan 03-31-2012 05:15 PM

i like the green dots next to the green. no blue.

sylviak 03-31-2012 05:47 PM

I like #3. Love your outside border fabric!

GramaLaura 03-31-2012 06:01 PM

Can't wait to see what yo decide.I love the last one. Brings out the gold in the border :)

Kitsapquilter 03-31-2012 09:04 PM

My first pick would be the first one. The last picture is ok too but like the first one better. Very pretty. Love that angel fabric!

burchquilts 03-31-2012 09:44 PM

Ooooh... that is a tough one. I like #'s 1 & 3 the best, I think. Tho I think all of them are nice. I can't wait to see this done. Are the angels printed squares?

Dianemarie 03-31-2012 10:20 PM

either one or three ! both compliment the quilt !

Blinkokr 04-01-2012 03:19 AM

Just lovely, great job and thanks for sharing. I like the blue, green dot and blue floral.
Have a Blessed day
