I want to do a pieced border but can't quite decide which one to go with. All opinions are welcome!

I like the first one. It frames the center and doesn't distract from the design.

DebraK 04-18-2013 04:04 PM

three, two, one.

craftychick 04-18-2013 04:13 PM

I like #1.

alfosa421 04-18-2013 04:23 PM

I like the first one but number 3 is a good alternative

IrishNY 04-18-2013 04:25 PM

I like 3 best

QuiltnNan 04-18-2013 04:27 PM

i like the last one. the quilt center is so delicate looking and the last one seems to blend better with that.

sunbonnet 04-18-2013 04:30 PM

I like #1.

chartwig 04-18-2013 04:30 PM

I like #3 the best! The one with two blue borders!

katier825 04-18-2013 04:32 PM

I like the 3rd one. I like the 1st one, but it almost seems too "heavy" and draws attention away from the center. Really pretty quilt!

Tweety2911 04-18-2013 04:36 PM

I like #1 best. My second choice would be #3. Beautiful quilt design.

crafty pat 04-18-2013 04:38 PM

I like #1 best.

What about this? A sort of compromise between one and three...

I like the 3rd one because it brings a balance to the square. You see the whole square and not just the border.

mom-6 04-18-2013 04:53 PM

Tough decision! There are aspects of each that appeal to me. Think I like kaelynangelfoot's because it combines all the best of each.

mucky 04-18-2013 05:06 PM

1 or 3 depending on the look you want

shandyr1 04-18-2013 05:09 PM

#3 is my favorite, but whichever one you choose, it will be beautiful.

YC Quilter 04-18-2013 05:10 PM

3,1,2 in that order of preference. Love your design!

nativetexan 04-18-2013 05:17 PM

number two or three for me. very nice indeed.

Auntevie 04-18-2013 05:17 PM

I really like your "compromise" of 1 and 3!

ontheriver 04-18-2013 05:26 PM

I like #3 best.

MamaBear61 04-18-2013 05:31 PM

That is a tough one. I think I like 3,1,2

thebossbab 04-18-2013 05:39 PM

I like the first one.....I think it makes your quilt pop! My second choice would be the third one. By the way, your quilt is beautiful.

alikat110 04-18-2013 05:42 PM

3, 2, 4, 1.......not gonna go wrong.....

Cookie46 04-18-2013 05:43 PM

I like the "compromise" the best.

barny 04-18-2013 05:47 PM

One or 3. The first one makes it look larger. The other two shrinks it down, but I like 3 too.

marthaverheyden 04-18-2013 06:02 PM

2, 3 , 1. The first one is to thick for this beautiful, delicate quilt.

RuthFru 04-18-2013 06:46 PM

I like the compromise best. It frames the quilt and yet is delicate enough for the center.

yes! the third one

ruthrings 04-18-2013 08:19 PM

I vote for #3. . more compatible.

quiltingcandy 04-18-2013 08:22 PM

I like the compromise one also, after that I like #3.

mscyndi 04-18-2013 08:28 PM

I like number 3 the best then 1 then 2 I really like them all

I like this one best of all

MamaInRed 04-18-2013 08:52 PM

1st one is a strong heavier border.
2nd feels lighter, softer.
3rd seems a perfect balance for a delicate beautiful quilt.
But, any of them would look beautiful.

At first I liked #1 better, but I actually like your compromise the best.

Blinkokr 04-19-2013 01:51 AM

I like the 1st one and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

SueDor 04-19-2013 02:06 AM

I like #1. Just saw the compromise and I liked that one too.

kateyb 04-19-2013 02:15 AM

I like #3. It looks delicate like the center. It makes it look light and airy.

my-ty 04-19-2013 02:39 AM

I'm tied between the compromise and #3. The quilt is very beautiful.

LaurieD in CT 04-19-2013 03:38 AM

I like the third choice. The double border...really frames the star without overpowering it. The first border seems too heavy to me and the second alternative seems unfinished. Really pretty!
