I just finished the center of this quilt top and now need to do the borders. I can't decide which one I like better, so I thought I would get you alls opinion.
Thank you all for looking and for your opinions :lol:
Also do you all like the border going to the top instead of just up to the other border? (does that make sense?)

option 2

#2. Every picture (quilt) needs a frame. The darker, more intense color frames it well. I also like my framing strip narrow - which the red already is. I like the borders stopping at the cross border. Again, the framing concept.


Beautiful quilt!

Me too!

Option 2 (because it echoes the centre) and I am not too keen on the border going right the way to the top, I think the continuous floral all the way round the edge would look nice. Anyway, you have done a beautiful job with this...whatever you decide will be lovely. May we please see when you are done.

Fannie Fournier 06-28-2011 08:57 PM

Love this thing!!!! Wow!!!! Your work is awesome!!!

suebee 06-28-2011 08:59 PM

I like option #2, but think it may look better (not) extending borders to top. Beautiful colors. Great job!

Option #2

gaigai 06-28-2011 09:27 PM

Agree

Thusnelda 06-28-2011 09:41 PM

Definitely number 2 for me. Though I'm not sure if I'd extend the brown and green border to the top or not.

Jammin' Jane 06-28-2011 09:51 PM

I like #2.
It's a gorgeous quilt!

mmonohon 06-28-2011 09:54 PM

I like option #2.

ranger 06-29-2011 01:27 AM

That is a beautiful quilt top!! Great pattern.
I am bookmarking this post for inspiration.


I vote for #3 and I wouldn't put the border all the way to the top.

debbieumphress 06-29-2011 02:59 AM

Love the way the green echos the center panel border.

neeng 06-29-2011 04:02 AM

I like option 2, that matches the inner border you already have.

As for the side border going all the way to the top, I think it might look better with a cornerstone.

It's a very pretty quilt! Nice work so far, looking forward to seeing the finished pics.

#3 :thumbup:

It is beautiful !! :-D

hobo2000 06-29-2011 04:21 AM

I like 1 because it finishes the quilt, maybe a wider border of the flowered. The others take away from your beautiful center and look like you kept adding to make your quilt larger. JMHO

Option 2 beautiful quilt
