Make it 2

Withthe red border makes the center really pop!!

I like the drama of the red, but it is hard to see the proportion of border to panel. One thing - the spot where you think she might put this, how much space? As others have suggested, you can bind in red if you need the slightly smaller dimension

I think this is what I'd do too

I vote for one red border, but use red narrow binding, just my opinion. Very pretty by the way.

quiltingcousin 09-30-2011 06:18 AM

I agree with bizzielizzie.......I think the red makes the panel "POP". Can't wait to see it done....it will be pretty, I just know.

lbc 09-30-2011 06:31 AM

I vote to just bind it in red.

karate lady 09-30-2011 06:34 AM

I love red, so add the extra border. smile

jojosnana 09-30-2011 06:36 AM

I like the one red border and bind with red idea...

FERSID 09-30-2011 06:39 AM

Without.

conniebrooks 09-30-2011 06:41 AM

I think the last border is too much. Let the next to last be your end border. Beautiful

Ditto

Quiltylady 09-30-2011 06:49 AM

I would stop at 3 borders. It really sets of the panel.

I like just the outside green. I'm not sure about the binding --

Jeanniejo 09-30-2011 08:30 AM

Just one red border I think.

Without the second red border. I think just having the one red, with the greens on both sides, makes the reds in your center pop! ... Nice work too, very pretty!...

dltaylor 09-30-2011 08:40 AM

I like the extra border

Johanna Fritz 09-30-2011 08:41 AM

IMHO I think it needs a "darker" color to frame, finish and stop the eye from going off the edge. It doesn't necessarily have to be red, but something darker than the light green. Even a dark red binding might work. When you look at the light green border only, your eyes wander out away from the edges rather than being contained and directed in towards the design in the center.

I don't know, i'm even more confused now. :shock:

Since it is going to be a wall hanging I think to save space I will go with the green outside green boarder and red binding. When I get there I will post a picture. The quilting part is going to be the hard part. I hate the quilting process and can't afford to pay anyone. I wish I could get the hang of free motion.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Corky 09-30-2011 09:11 AM

Just the green, red, green. Bind it in red if you want. BTW - it is lovely!

ruck9085 09-30-2011 09:15 AM

I'm going with the red. You can NEVER have too much red, IMHO.

psailer 09-30-2011 09:35 AM

love it both ways... sorry no help

mucky 09-30-2011 09:52 AM

Yes the extra red border is too much.

suzanprincess 09-30-2011 10:10 AM

If it won't make the hanging too large, add the red border, and bind it in same red.

Wunder-Mar 09-30-2011 10:20 AM

I agree - just one really makes it pop.

Me too!

RobertaMarie 09-30-2011 10:29 AM

I think either would be just fine. The way you have it now with a red binding would be fabulous. It is so pretty and your mom will love it.

Alondra 09-30-2011 11:01 AM

I agree with Quilter 7X - one red border is quite enough, two is overkill. Nice piece! Please post when you're finished.

luce321 09-30-2011 11:03 AM

I prefer the one red border.

sonisew 09-30-2011 11:06 AM

I like it without the red

#1piecemaker 09-30-2011 11:12 AM

Only one red border! I love your quilt. It's so pretty!!!

SusanW 09-30-2011 11:25 AM

I vote without the second red. I like the green red green.

Sheree from Chicago 09-30-2011 11:34 AM

I would omit the last red border. It is so pretty!

sewbizgirl 09-30-2011 11:40 AM

I like it best with just one red border...

Slow2Sew 09-30-2011 11:47 AM

i vote for only one red.
