Which border should I choose
 
3 Attachment(s)
Thanks to Rhonda, I figured out how to get a pic of my quilt top loaded as a single block so I could then use that to audition different pieced borders. I couldn't re-create this quilt top in EQ7 - it had to be done with a photo of the top. Thanks Rhonda! So ... which border do we like the best. BTW - I know the one with the flying geese has different size geese, I'm not worried about that. I'm just looking for what scheme looks the best.

Thanks!

I really like the third one.

None of them, they all detract from the quilt. Use a medium sized floral instead. Or black (like background) with accents of the darkest red/pink.

First or third. I think the third one has more pizazz.

I like the third one, think the darker edge keeps the border from competing with the center

i would also opt for the 3rd! :)

I like #3 the best, but I also agree with yourstrulyquilts, it seems to distract from the gorgeous center.

I definitely like a border with the black, so the 3rd one. Though I do agree that it has the potential to detract from the quilt

I like three better, however I have to go along with the others that they all distract from your beautiful center.
