I like the last one...but I prefer it when the border doesn't match any of the edge pieces :roll: :D What about the colour of the stars??? :D

Edit: Just been back for a second look...I defo think a light inner border using the same light fabric of the stars...then a dark one to finish :D Just my personal choice of course....you go with what you think best :D :lol: :wink:

How about a skinny border of white and then #6?

patricej 02-03-2009 01:30 PM

either #1 or #5

I agree with Izzy about a light border, then i would put #6 on the outside. I had to look and look at first, leaning toward #1, but when i saw the blue...and with a lighter border first to bring out the lights in the center...YEAH! that's my 2 cents :wink:

I agree with the others who said a small border first~color of stars~ then the last one :-o

I like one of the darker colors it frames it and makes it look finished. I always like a thin inner border followed by a wide outer.

two more cents...you know, to help the economy, lol...
maybe print out your choices...tape in a circle at eye level. Leave the room, and walk in, head down and when you look up, the first one that 'jumps' out at you.
A lady I used to work with gave me a very good piece of advice one time when I was stumped by two choices:
pick one and if you keep feeling uncomfortable with it, you know you really wanted the other one. :wink:
I really use this as a rule of thumb, and it has worked for over 30 years. I was five then, LOL!!!...and I have some beachfront property cheap too!!! :lol:

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try to get a picture of the lt tan narrow border with #1 and #6, when I get home from work. I usually use a narrow border on my quilts but the pattern for this one didn't use the narrow border, just the one at 5.5" unfinshed. I could also pull a fabric that is not in the quilt and see how that looks too. But too many choices makes it harder to choose!!!

I know what you mean by having too many choices. The last one looks great as is! but in the end you will know what you like, we are just the cheering section...sometimes making a lot of noise, lol! :lol:
