If you want it larger, add the 2nd red border. I think I would just bind it in red without the 2nd border.

I would go with the one red border and bind with a green in one or two shades darker.

I agree

hensandhollyhocks 09-29-2011 07:35 PM

I like the red as the outside. What do you like best?

nlgh 09-29-2011 09:01 PM

I'm voting with the majority and going for only one red border. I think it would look okay with a binding in red, but another border is overkill as someone has already said.

BETTY62 09-29-2011 09:27 PM

It's awesome as it is now.

Jim 09-29-2011 10:28 PM

I think the red binding only

...just a small touch of red on the edge rather than the boldness of the red border

leiladylei54 09-29-2011 10:57 PM

I like the one red border and then bind it in red.

piepatch 09-30-2011 01:38 AM

I don't think it needs the extra red border. I would leave it off and bind it in red.

I agree!

Krystyna 09-30-2011 02:50 AM

I think it's perfect!

jpmaroni 09-30-2011 02:52 AM

like it both ways, but the first, without the last red border, pops more.

yetta 09-30-2011 02:55 AM

Same here. It's beautiful.

Quilt-Till-U-Wilt 09-30-2011 03:09 AM

Just 1 red border.

theresa.redington 09-30-2011 03:09 AM

Tough choice because I like both and the suggestion of the the board to bind is red is a good idea. Have fun and whatever you do it will be applicious!
:thumbup:

Carrie Jo 09-30-2011 03:21 AM

I think I would stop at the green.

Ditto - for two.

mummadee 09-30-2011 03:25 AM

It really doesn't need the extra border. I'd skip it.

lovedquilts 09-30-2011 03:42 AM

I think it looks great without the extra border

CorneliaVa 09-30-2011 03:51 AM

Decision would depend on how much quilting you want to do, on the designs you plan to quilt into each of the borders, and on how big you want the final product to be.

Personally, I'd add that second red border, and then bind it with a deep brown (I think that's the color showing on my computer) the same as the panel's original edging.

The first picture is "soft on the eyes" and easy to look at, but the second picture, with the wide red border really pops.
I would add the wide red. My vote is for picture#2. Have fun creating this quilting project.

What do you think?

My preference is the green. However it depends on the wall color where it will be placed. and the space. Love it

lodad 09-30-2011 05:39 AM

I would choose binding it is red.

granny64 09-30-2011 05:48 AM

I vote for the extra red border, but red is my favorite color.

Jackie Spencer 09-30-2011 05:49 AM

I would just bind with the red also. Your Mom is going to love it!!!!!
