Putting boarders on a panel I brought and hope to give to my mom. It would make a great wall hanging but not sure if I should add another boarder of red or leave well enough alone and make a binding out of the red.

What do you think?

Without the extra border. I love the green, red, green. The extra red one is overkill. That's just one person's opinion!

leatheflea 09-29-2011 04:11 PM

I vote for only one red border.

blueangel 09-29-2011 04:11 PM

I like without the red border.

angiecub 09-29-2011 04:11 PM

I like them both but would probably just bind it in red.

crafdldy 09-29-2011 04:12 PM

I I think ending the quilt with red is beautiful. Nice job

irishrose 09-29-2011 04:13 PM

For a wall hanging, I'd skip the last border. It's just right the way it is.

sewsewquilter 09-29-2011 04:14 PM

I like ending with the red. Kinda boring ending with the green. But, that's just me.

this.

I'm not going to be much help. I think it can go either way. If you want it a bit bigger, add the red. If the size is good as is, leave it.

denise d 09-29-2011 04:21 PM

I would just bind it in red.

Jingle 09-29-2011 04:25 PM

I like the second picture. I'm a renegade, always have a different opinion. Please yourself and it will be perfect.

PegD 09-29-2011 04:25 PM

I agree.

I have to agree with the ending it in red is a lot brighter to me than just the green. I vote for the final border being red.

Jim's Gem 09-29-2011 04:32 PM

Only 1 red border and bind in the red. I love a contrasting binding!

Granny Quilter 09-29-2011 04:33 PM

No more borders, just bind it.

Eddie 09-29-2011 04:34 PM

I'd leave the last red border off and just bind it in the red.

fabric_fancy 09-29-2011 04:45 PM

if the last green border is as thick as its going to be then i would have to go with ending in red.

i think the quilt looks better ending with a large outer border - that color really isn't as critical for me - it just needs to be thicker then that green one you're showing.

Tartan 09-29-2011 04:52 PM

I like ending with the green and then a thin red binding. I think the extra red border overpowers the inner panel.

spinnergs 09-29-2011 04:53 PM

I think ending with just green with red binding would let your eye go to the center of the quilt, where the wide red border makes you look everywhere at once.

I agree!

alikat110 09-29-2011 05:02 PM

I like the extra red border!!!

BizzieLizzie 09-29-2011 05:05 PM

I guess I have to be the one to disagree. I think that the last red slightly thicker border 'lifts' the green border and gives the panel a 'boost'. It fits in so well too. I would end on a red to add pizzaz to it. It is a personal preference and you need to decide what you like and go with it. Lovely panel and love the choice of colours!

valleyquiltermo 09-29-2011 05:06 PM

Well first off it is lovely and your momma will love it.
I also feel the outer border of green is to narrow. So I'm voting for a larger red border. Just my humble opinion for what it's worth. ;-)

Dianemarie 09-29-2011 05:06 PM

one border

Scrap Happy 09-29-2011 05:07 PM

I like it with the red border.

Yep, this is my opinion also. looks great.

scowlkat 09-29-2011 05:09 PM

I like the red on the outside whether you choose it as a border or binding.

wuv2quilt 09-29-2011 05:10 PM

I like it with all the boarders on...IMHO It's really pretty :)

DawnMarie 09-29-2011 05:12 PM

I'd use red as the binding, and forget the extra red border.

I love ending with the second green border. It is beautiful. The red is a beautiful pop, but two borders of it is a little much. Having said that, I must confess that green is my favorite color.

BluegrassGurl 09-29-2011 05:45 PM

To me, it pops more with just 1 red border.

joeyoz 09-29-2011 05:48 PM

That is my opinion also. Use red for the binding.

suebee 09-29-2011 05:54 PM

I like it both ways, but if I had a choice I would choose without 2nd red border. Its really beautiful.

ladypetite 09-29-2011 06:24 PM

I like the extra red border since it is to be used as a wallhanging. The red border completes it as a frame completes a piece of artwork.
