Like the inner border as well because your eye rests before looking at the busy border. This is a fabulous quilt. Love your colors well done!

I like the black inner border

Oh yes. you should put in the black space to let the eye rest before it takes in the abstract squares border. I love the design and the fabrics you've chosen. Your project is going to be delicious when it's finished.

A hint for speeding up the patchwork process on the log cabin blocks: Sew all of the center square to the first side, chain stitching all of your blocks. Go to the iron and press them towards the strip you just added. Add strip two to all of them. Press. Strip three, press . . . this way you will get them all going in the same direction (clockwise) and finish much faster.

I really like it with the black border between the 2 sizes of blocks. Love the color combo! I'm a sucker for lime ~ ~ ~

First picture has the inner black border, 2nd is without, 3rd is the blocks so far.
I would appreciate your thoughts!

It really needs the inner border to help set off the outside blocks so I go for the first picture.

sheliab12 03-31-2011 04:07 AM

I like the inner border. IT sets it off and apart.

cantrelld 03-31-2011 04:26 AM

Definitely with the inner border. Makes the blocks seem to float.

Sallyflymi 03-31-2011 04:40 AM

Like it with the inner border.Gives good contrast.

hobo2000 03-31-2011 04:45 AM

Number one

bobquilt3 03-31-2011 04:50 AM

I too, like the inner border. IMHO, it makes the center "float" to emphasize the blocks give is it a lighter look.
Beautiful quilt. Love the colors and the pieced border is wonderful.

TheCloser 03-31-2011 05:12 AM

I think the black inner border gives it more pazzaz.

I like the inner border. Without it looks too jumbled up.
