I like the brown one- I think the darker border sets off the center. Very pretty quilt, thanks for sharing!

I like jus the way it is.

Boy you are getting a varity of answers, but I really like the green. Please post a pic when it's finished.

KandiKane 01-28-2011 12:01 AM

I like the Green also, But both are very pretty, you might want to add a smaller piece of orange before the green.. well thats my thought anyways..which ever you do will be great

nicky 01-28-2011 02:55 AM

The green!

Your quilt is gorgeous!! I especially like the "vine" effect in the border. Could you share the name of the pattern, please?

Ditto. Beautiful top.

I don't think it needs a border. The first one does it for me.

bluadept 01-28-2011 04:01 AM

The first one brings out the colors from the center of the quilt.

The flowery border adds something to it. I like that one. At first I was going to say the binding would probably be enough but you changed my way of thinking.

I love the first dark brown fabric - it just seems to tye everything together!

NUTMEG10 01-28-2011 05:42 AM

Beautiful quilt. I like the light brown border and darker binding would work well. More borders would overpower the design.

Glad a decision was reached. Had an enlargement been necessary, I think a tiny, (like a flat piping)in the red, with the green border would have been the popper which would have set the Dresden vine border apart, complimenting the center fans.

Nolee 01-28-2011 05:53 AM

Good decision

Pegleg 01-28-2011 05:56 AM

I like the first border with the larger scale prints that pull all the colors from the center of the quilt. We had a speaker at guild that said she always pulls the color of the center to the border. Makes sense to me.
The green border fabric is the same scale as the one next to it and seems a little boring having only one color in comparison to the larger scale print.

I am beyond words!! It is absolutely beautiful!! Whatever you choose will be a great choice. I'm a beginner quilter. You really motivate me!!!

Love the flowered border....makes the whole quilt pop

Love the first one!!!

burdiebb 01-28-2011 06:15 AM

Personally, I love the green second border. The quilt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. Lori

LindaMRB 01-28-2011 06:20 AM

I suggest the first, larger pattern that actually looks rust-colored on my screen. It contrasts nicely with the smaller patterns right next to it.
I think the binding could be a smaller pattern that would not disappear in the narrow width.

katlady 01-28-2011 06:30 AM

My opinion no more borders bind in dark brown.

Gramma 01-28-2011 06:33 AM

Like it as is.

thegypsy1968 01-28-2011 06:40 AM

My goodness I usually can respond quickly to that kind of question but geesh....I really like both of them alot!! Either one would look great I think! ..WEll done my next project is going to be a dresden table runner for my living room coffee table...you have given me inspiration..WELL Done!!

Picklelady 01-28-2011 06:43 AM

Did you create your vine border on your own or is there a pattern for it?? I just love it and can't wait to hear there is a pattern... (my fingers are crossed).

thanks so much!!

Baloonatic 01-28-2011 06:59 AM

I like the floral print, but I think you have it labeled as "green." Lovely quilt!

janisspencer 01-28-2011 07:00 AM

your quilt is beautiful.I like the brown border better myself.Jan

DJ 01-28-2011 07:03 AM

You probably have enough opinions to thoroughly confuse you :) Just want to say, it's beautiful!

Arleners 01-28-2011 07:06 AM

If you decide to use a border at all, I like the floral print. It makes the applique in the now outer border dance.

Grandma Peg 01-28-2011 07:07 AM

Love the quilt.

Minnisewta 01-28-2011 07:18 AM

I agree just a brown binding.

aggie 01-28-2011 07:49 AM

No other border. Great the way it is

This is absolutely beautiful without additional borders. Love the colors and workmanship. This one goes on my to do list!

That is absolutely beautiful. like it is.

M.I.Late 01-28-2011 08:51 AM

The second one - definitely

kso 01-28-2011 08:55 AM

If it does not need to be bigger, why put a border on it? If it does need to be bigger, I like #1.

mrsmail 01-28-2011 10:15 AM

I like the brown. Beautiful quilt.
