So pretty. I like the rust.

craftybear 06-30-2011 06:07 PM

love your blooming star blocks and I think 2 borders would be cool

Stacey 06-30-2011 06:21 PM

Rust.

redquilter 06-30-2011 06:21 PM

Love that quilt. Wonderful colors. I think I'd like a narrow border of rust and then a wider border of the green/rust.

nyelphaba 06-30-2011 06:23 PM

jackied 06-30-2011 07:17 PM

I like the rust, then maybe print on the outside. Thats a pretty quilt.

karenm36 06-30-2011 07:19 PM

I like the blue and rust...a double border with those 2 would be nice. I really like what you've done so far!!!

irishrose 06-30-2011 07:24 PM

I like the rust for a narrow border with a wide border of the green print.

That would be my choice as well. Beautiful blocks - I love the warm colours. That's why I would go with the rust for the first border.

janedee 06-30-2011 10:33 PM

I like the rust and the gold

OmaForFour 07-01-2011 02:52 AM

I like the first one. ALSO, have a question. I tried to search for this pattern to no avail. Can you tell me where to find it? Thanks!

Which border do you think looks best? Thank's for looking. Your opinion means alot to me.


QweenBee 07-01-2011 02:55 AM

I like the blue or the rust. I think I like the rust the best! :thumbup:

allie1448 07-01-2011 02:57 AM

I like the Rust too, it really makes it all 'pop'

Vickymomof6 07-01-2011 03:05 AM

A narrow of the rust then a wider one of the green print.

Beautiful quilt.

YEP, that would be my suggestion as well. Good job on the blocks, this is going to be a gorgeous quilt :).

Heather Hayllar 07-01-2011 03:27 AM

Love the block!
I liked the red best :)

ljptexas 07-01-2011 03:29 AM

Great looking quilt! I love scrappy. Such a smart way to use up 'our stash'! I vote for the blue, because that is my favorite color!!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

NannyPat 07-01-2011 03:34 AM

love the rust! the multi's are too busy and take away from the blocks.

SueDor 07-01-2011 03:38 AM

I would use the multi green and then the rust. Love the quilt.

I second the motion.

Donna Mare 07-01-2011 03:48 AM

Tough one.. one thin border and then a larger one. Choose YOUR fav colors....

sewdarnbusy 07-01-2011 04:09 AM

I love the green with a dab of rust for a border ... it's perfect!!!

Beautiful blocks!! If it were mine I'd use the blue, and put a narrow (1/2 inch?)darker blue inner border first; the blue you have is too light to "stop the eye" - IMHO.
Or you might want to try a narrow inner border using the rust. Then a wider outer border in the green print with the rust flowers.
Show us a pic when its done please?

violetsfarm 07-01-2011 04:51 AM

I like the rust border, sets off the blocks.

ghquilter53 07-01-2011 04:59 AM

Choose the border color in regards to which color you want to bring out in the quilt. For me it would be the orangey-brown but maybe you want to go to the softer blue.

julybaby8 07-01-2011 05:03 AM

I think the rust or blue would be nice.

nwm50 07-01-2011 05:10 AM

last one called out to me.....Blue was my 1st selection til i saw the gold? color one. Seems like it was "helping" the smaller similar gold color popped

wolph33 07-01-2011 05:14 AM

wow looks great rust border looks best

joyce888 07-01-2011 05:19 AM

I like them all but I think I like the blue best.
