appreciate any input

border 2 with white

patchwork 03-07-2012 06:11 AM

I like the white.

Izaquilter 03-07-2012 06:12 AM

I just thought of something....Pin one border on one side, then pin the other choice on the other side. Hang it up for a couple of days & see which one grabs you the most. I've had to walk away from a quilt & do that a couple times & I'm glad I did. I've also learned to go with my first instinct & not always someone elses!

It is perfect the way you have it in the picture.

Lori S 03-07-2012 06:26 AM

I like the white.. alot. It makes a nice definition and ties nicely to the white in the quilt.

Jingle 03-07-2012 06:33 AM

I think white border 1st.

Jingle 03-07-2012 06:36 AM

I think white border instead of green. I would then put the green, then the floral. Just my opinion.

justme 03-07-2012 06:36 AM

I like this one the best...

Jingle 03-07-2012 06:37 AM

I think white, green and then floral. Just my opinion.

dilyn 03-07-2012 06:39 AM

It's so pretty, I'm sure whatever you choose for your borders will look lovely.

Dianemarie 03-07-2012 06:45 AM

liikey like !!!!!

mighty 03-07-2012 06:52 AM

I agree with floral next and bind in gold.

patchworkmuriel 03-07-2012 07:04 AM

Yes, white, green and then floral will be lovely! Lovely quilt - am looking closely at pattern as I have one to do for a great grandchild due in May, but didnt want a 'baby' one!

mtkoldra 03-07-2012 07:13 AM

thank you for your suggestions, I will be looking at it for a day or so ........, the reason I am trying to add a 2 or even 3rd narrow border to make the quilt bigger, but since it is a square quilt it really does not matter it will not be big enough for a full size bed anyway. will most likely give it to one of the kids in the family.

thank you again

Nanad5 03-07-2012 07:33 AM

I would do green, then floral and bind with gold! So many good choices. They are all great...just a matter of preference.

QuiltingKrazy 03-07-2012 07:39 AM

I think # 2 looks best to me!

ranger 03-07-2012 08:42 AM

I'll suggest that you have the green or gold next to the center and then scrappy and then green or gold and the wider floral on the outside.
I do not like the white as a border...that's just my opinion.
If that scrappy border is already attached, then I prefer pic #1.

Sandy64 03-07-2012 12:06 PM

I agree with jingle, white then green and then floral. Sandy64

Jammin' Jane 03-07-2012 02:57 PM

I like the first one!
Please show us again after you finish it! :)

tatavw01 03-07-2012 05:52 PM

number 2!!!!!!

Peggy Jeanne 03-07-2012 06:20 PM

I would put the white, green and then the floral. Very pretty!

Maureen 03-07-2012 06:27 PM

I dont care for the white. I like the green and then the floral. Just sayin!

QandE2010 03-07-2012 06:44 PM

I also like white, green & then floral. It is a very nice quilt.

mom-6 03-07-2012 06:48 PM

I really really like the green, gold, print option. To me it gives the perfect finishing touch.

My second choice would be just the green and use the gold for binding.

For some reason the white just doesn't seem to fit in the border. Not sure why I don't like it.

Pat-w 03-07-2012 08:24 PM

I like the second photo. Very pretty!

cindy4857 03-07-2012 08:48 PM

I like #2 a lot. can't wait to see it when it's finished.

rebeljane 03-08-2012 04:00 AM

I like the green then the floral fabric. With the yellow in between these two colours all I look at is the yellow.

ShowMama 03-08-2012 07:34 AM

I like #1 the best. I think it brings out all the colors the best.

Dianemarie 03-08-2012 07:59 AM

ok I like either 2 or 3 not one; the tan does nothing for the quilt. I really like 2 but if you're going for bigger and need more borders then 3.

Wunder-Mar 03-08-2012 08:00 AM

I like border 2 with the white - it unifies the quilt from what might otherwise look like you just stuck border on a quilt. Gives it a nice pop of attention! Nicely done!

Crqltr 03-08-2012 08:02 AM

I like the green alone, bind with the gold.

GramaLaura 03-08-2012 08:06 AM

Love #1 :)

roadrunr 03-08-2012 08:58 AM

I also think white border first, then the green then the floral.

medots 03-08-2012 09:35 AM

I also like the white border

cwessel47 03-08-2012 09:57 AM

I like #2. Don't care for the white, it kinda stops the quilt's progression. It's a very pretty quilt but there is enough white in it already. If you want it even wider #1 works well also.

#1piecemaker 03-08-2012 10:02 AM

The second picture looks great to me. I don't hardly see how you can go wrong with any of your choices.

Linnie 03-08-2012 10:07 AM

I like #2!!!
