I'm working on a new quilt, and can't decide if I like it better with the black inner border separating the blocks border, or without.
First picture has the inner black border, 2nd is without, 3rd is the blocks so far.
I would appreciate your thoughts!

I like it with the inner border, but it is a great quilt either way.

I like it with as well!

I like the inner border.

I love your quilt-great colors. It looks good either way. For some reason when I look at the one without the inner border there is lots of movement in the quilt. The inner border (tho it looks really nice) seems to stop the movement. This is just my VERY humble opinion. Love it!

I like it with the inner border....but think it needs yet a very small border of another color to separate the inner black border from the black in the blocks. 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.

I love the quilt, I like the bright colors. My choice would be with the inner border.

Looks like most of them like the inner border.

Looks good, but appears very bright, but I like the layout on your first photo. Awesome work too.

quiltsillysandi 03-28-2011 02:34 PM

For my tastes, I like it with, however, both quilts look very good...Stunning colors....

clynns 03-28-2011 02:34 PM

I like the inner border because it draws your eye to the work that you put into the border squares. It makes them seems to 'float'. Great job.

almostfree 03-28-2011 02:35 PM

I like the black border; it sets off your pieced border.

QuiltnNan 03-28-2011 02:42 PM

definitely the first one, with the inner border

quiltsRfun 03-28-2011 02:47 PM

I like it better with the inner border. It makes the center panel float.

BTW - this is a lovely design. Love the colors, especially with the black.

zipit 03-28-2011 02:53 PM

I like it with the black border. It makes the quilt pop.

pittsburgpam 03-28-2011 02:55 PM

I like the inner black border. Makes the blocks in the border look like they're floating.

bjnicholson 03-28-2011 02:57 PM

I like the first one with the black inner border. I don't know why, I just do!!!

TerryQuilter 03-28-2011 03:01 PM

The inner border really makes the block border seem like it's floating. Go with the inner border :thumbup:

I love the inner border -- it lets all of the blocks float.

That will be a stunning quilt!
