I like the wider one also. You might like it if it hanges better on the sides of the bed.

Great job on a great quilt. I am sure every time you cover up with it you will feel his warmth. Good way to work through grief.

What a wonderful and healing project. I don't think you can go wrong with either boarder. Where will the quilt go? On a bed or as a throw? If it is going on a bed, the finished size might help to make your decision.

Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted. With this quilt wrapped around you, I pray that you will find comfort.

Wider boarder, great quilt. He will be happy when he sees this. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you made the quilt as a memory quilt. So sorry for your loss. I too, experienced that loss and made my children and grands a quilt similar to yours and the kids fell in love with them. I now have plans to make a sun bonnet sue and sam using up some of the smaller pieces for myself. As a matter of fact, that was my first attempt at quilting. Now I am still quilting and addicted.

Very nice quilt! I prefer the wider border.

I love them both, butI would pick the thinner border.

I personally like the thinner border, but it would depend on the size you want to end up with. Nice either way.

I like the wider border as well. I agree with Leslie333 that it makes the diamonds pop.

my choice would be the wider border... I agree with Nammie7, it would give you more room to quilt in the border and have it show up.

craftynell 05-17-2013 10:49 AM

We are all voting for the wider border, but you use the one you like the best.

mimiof4 05-17-2013 12:14 PM

I think wider is better. I agree with everything everyone else said. It is a very special quilt.
