I have had these blocks for this top done for quite sometime. I took a class from Debbie Caffrey about 5 years ago for this quilt. I just got the quilt top all sewn together and now not sure which border to use. I think I like the snowflake fabric best. May have enough of the light colored snowflake block fabric to make a narrow inner border then about a 5 or 6 inch outer border.
The name of the quilt is The Journey Home. I think that is the name of it. I am going to call it Journey Home from Forks. I took the class on my birthday in Forks, WA.

2nd choice of border

I really love your color combinations. Nice quilt.

I like the first one, with the snowflakes. I think a narrow inner border in a lighter shade would look great with it.

I like the first one, maybe with a thin one inch white border next to the main quilt.

I like the snowflake myself.

even though I've had enough snow after today's storm, I have to agree that the first one looks best to me.

ditto!

PaperPrincess 02-26-2011 06:39 AM
I like them both, but I think a narrow white border between the blocks and the wider border strip would set everything off.

Limey 02-26-2011 07:51 AM
Blue snowflakes are my preference for a great quilt!

snow flake border

Susanna10 02-26-2011 08:50 AM
I like the first one best with the snowflakes

Rock Lady 02-26-2011 12:12 PM
I vote for the snowflakes with a narrow inner boarder of either white or perhaps red. You've done a wonderful job so far. Don't quit now.
