Cottage Romance - Borders or no borders?
 

Sorry for such poor pictures but if you can use your imagination please. Should I border this quilt or just put a binding on and call it finished? I am really undecided and would really like your opinions.
This quilt top really is straight but I guess it is not pinned on the wall very well.

I would add a border, but I add borders 99% of the time. I think it's rare that a border doesn't enhance a quilt.

I would make 2 borders- a thin green one and then the rose on in the 3rd pic. I love this fabric line!

I like it with a border best, lovely fabrics!

i like it just the way you have it so far :thumbup:

I think adding a little green boarder first then the other flower one would be beautiful

I also vote for a thinner green border then add the flowered fabric for the outer border. I love your fabrics.

Yes for the border. Love the idea of a thin green border and then the border shown would tie the whole quilt together beautifully!

Beautiful fabrics!!! The border really adds to it. I vote for the small green border then the flower border. Very pretty!!!!

Oh what a beautiful quilt!! Love your fabrics. I would deffinitly add at least one border. Would love to see a picture after this is quilted!!

Yes, add a thin green inner border, or a darkish pink. Then the rose print. You've done a great job, it is so pretty!

I think I'd just bind it and be done. Its beautiful by the way!!

Very pretty. If it were mine, I'd do a green inner border (the paisley if you have more - otherwise a marble) and the floral outer border. Then I'd bind with either the green or a rose. :)

I agree with the small green border and then your floral one......love your quilt any way you decide to do it though!!!

I second this opinion. Alternatively, use dark pink for the inner border.

I would add a thin border of the DEEPEST rose color then a wider border of the rose print! I always add borders to my quilts. I'd feel naked without them.:o

I would do the darker green thin border, then a wider dark rose colored border, or just the opposite. It's very pretty!

I'd just bind and call it done. Love the calming colors.

i like that small green and then flower border. very romantic :)

Adding that wonderful floral border makes the quilt so soft and feminine. I love it. Very shabby schiek.
peace

Hi
I vote thin green and larger floral

oh yes, borders please. it will be beautiful!!!

I think the thin green and then a wide rose border would make it pop. About a inch and 1/2 for the green and a 3 in rose.

I vote for tis also!

I agree. The 2 borders would look great.

I say...no border...but use green binding. It is very nice.

Like the border.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. Borders win! Guess I better get at it. Think I will do a thin green border and then the pink print. I think I knew it needed a border but was just being lazy and in a hurry to get working on another one that is taking shape in my head. Guess it will have to stay there a little longer. Off to cut borders now.....

Yes, I vote for the border. Such pretty fabrics! A green binding would look good too! JMHO~

Do not decide until you spread it across your BED. Only when you see it<b>as it will be used</b>, can you make that decision.

I like the idea of a thin border but how about something in that dark pink color, then the wider border, finishing with a green binding.

I like the idea doing the green border first since you havethe flower fabric in the quilt and then I would do the second border using the flower fabric...very pretty top!

I would add a border or 2. Love the quilt. Love the colors.

That would be my suggestions, too, but then again... that's how I "end" most of my quilts. I love this quilt top... the fabrics are yummy! I love, love, love shabby chic & this just defines that look! I can't wait to see this beauty all done!

P. S: What pattern is this beautiful quilt made from? I love it!

I agree a thin green border and than the flower border nice quilt.

i like it the way it is !!very pretty

pink border

I think a green border would be real nice. Good luck!

I would add a border too! Small green & then flower.Beautiful fabrics you used!
