Well okay! LOL even thought I prefer it without the inner border, I plan to put this quilt up for sale when it's finished, so if the majority prefer it with the inner border, I do believe that's the way I will make it!

I really appreciate the help! Bright colors are WAY outside of my comfort zone, I prefer neutrals in black, tans, creams and browns, and would never make a quilt like this for myself, but I am LOVING playing with colors on quilts since it's not for me!!!!!!!

My vote is WITH border.

with the black inner border, the blocks look like they are 'floating' makes you look twice - looks hand made and very well designed. IMHO, that is, and again IMNO no border makes it look crowded.

Definetly with.

gal288 03-28-2011 05:02 PM

I think the inner border is perfect.

Foxflower 03-28-2011 05:44 PM

I don't think you have trouble selling this! I agree with using the inner border also. Good luck!

Me, too! :D

My humble opinion.... I like the one with the border. I also think it breaks it up a little bit.

You could use a border as small as 1/2 in...just need a little something to break there. If there is a color that is only in the inside of the block, then that would be a good choice to use.

Exactly!!!

I like the black inner border!! :thumbup: :D

btiny36 03-28-2011 06:27 PM

CajunQuilter2 03-28-2011 06:36 PM

I like the second one best but both are great. Good luck deciding

GGinMcKinney 03-28-2011 06:37 PM

First one. Neat quilt.

Jingle 03-28-2011 06:37 PM

I like it with the black border, the seperation sets it off.

lpsewing 03-28-2011 06:39 PM

The black inner boarder makes it really pop in my opinion !

franie 03-28-2011 06:39 PM

Love the quilt and either way is fine to me.

spinnergs 03-28-2011 07:33 PM

I really like it without the inner border, it makes it look more lively and connected to the whole quilt.

Kitsapquilter 03-28-2011 07:39 PM

Just my opinion...I like the black inner border. Kind of separates the quilt center from the outer border! Very nicely done, I might add!

luckylindy333 03-28-2011 07:43 PM

Really pretty- if you want it that big, the black inner border gives the outer border some space to breathe a little...

sjscribe 03-28-2011 08:15 PM

I think the inner black border compliments the blocks.

mackandblues 03-28-2011 11:07 PM

Inner border = 2 thumbs up!

Blinkokr 03-29-2011 02:41 AM

I like the black inner border, it gives it more clarity, looks like it is going to be just beautiful. Happy quilting.

Beautiful either way! I think it looks better with the border because it makes the center stand out more.

Has to have the inner border. I love log cabin yours are popping. Share the pattern?

The first one has my vote

cowpie2 03-29-2011 04:13 AM

I like it with the inner border. It really sets off the blocks and makes the other border stand out too.

cindit 03-29-2011 04:14 AM

I vote for the inner black border. It makes the border float.

DianaSwi 03-29-2011 04:24 AM
