I agree with Barb from Missouri...
That being said...no matter what you do, it's going to be spectacular!

It needs the inner border IMHO. It will be a beautiful quilt. Show us when it is finished.

I like the black inner border the best. Nice quilt, by the way.

Thanks! It's not a published pattern, it's one I drew up in EQ.

No. 1 is my choice, also.

Wow

debcavan 03-29-2011 06:18 AM

I like it with the border just because it separates the geometric design of the inner quilt and the border giving my eye a place to rest.

The colors are gorgeous. The quilt blocks are a wonderful design

twinkie 03-29-2011 06:25 AM

Black border between is much better IMHO. It is real nice

So do I.

I like it with an inner border but I think I would choose a different color to set off the blocks that around the outside, as there is already enouth black in it.

suekenyon 03-29-2011 06:41 AM

I like the inner border...very pretty quilt.

IBQUILTIN 03-29-2011 06:42 AM

I like it better with the extra width of black

ccb2200 03-29-2011 06:44 AM

It looks great both ways but I think I like it with the inner border best. Very pretty quilt.

rexie 03-29-2011 06:44 AM

I like the first one. Gives it a lot of drama.

inner border
Great job!

GramaLaura 03-29-2011 07:26 AM

That's a tough one.......I like the inner border :-D And I love the quilt !!

ChildoftheUniverse 03-29-2011 07:34 AM

Wow... I'm liking the black inner border... really makes the blocks pop!

bink 03-29-2011 07:35 AM

I like the inner border
Blocks and pieced borders seem to 'float' and I like the look better than butted up against each other

islandboundquilting 03-29-2011 07:40 AM

I think the inner black border is the way to go. It makes everything pop!!

Ceil 03-29-2011 08:20 AM

Love the quilt. Best with the inner black border.

jdeery 03-29-2011 08:23 AM

I like having the inter black border.

Tudey 03-29-2011 08:28 AM

I like it with the inner black border...and I love the colors!

Linda Loo 03-29-2011 08:50 AM

I like "with" best. Seems that the whole thing Breathes more with the inner border, gives a space for the eye to rest a bit. Love, Love the quilt :thumbup:

doowopddbop 03-29-2011 09:01 AM

Wow, great colors. I would do the inner border - gives the outer blocks some distinction.

Miss Ice 03-29-2011 01:21 PM

With black border

dhanke 03-29-2011 01:25 PM

I like the #1 version, it makes the border blocks float.

xsquilter 03-29-2011 01:27 PM

Me as well...I like it with the inner border. Both ways are nice but the inner border seems to make it look less "crowded" & the blocks "pop" more!

GGrammie 03-29-2011 01:44 PM

Inner border does it for me.
But both look nice..

LindaKayCat 03-29-2011 02:33 PM

I like the first one with the extra black border!

Great colors in the quilt - I kinda agree w/Barb another VERY small to separate the inner black & black of blocks - Perhaps the lightest blue that is in the inside of the blocks??? Maybe even a bright bias tape would work here????

Good luck & be sure & show us your finished piece.

I like it with the inner border.
Beautiful quilt.

Jo M 03-29-2011 02:50 PM

I like the black inner border best.

Vivian Ketron 03-29-2011 03:05 PM

I like it both ways.Either one, the quilt will be beautiful.

gypsylady5 03-29-2011 03:13 PM

Definitely the inner black border.
