#2 love the quilt.

maryb119 04-05-2011 05:37 AM

The darker one is my choice.

drw1mjw2 04-05-2011 06:03 AM

The darker one, it does not distract from the quilt.

Chay 04-05-2011 06:06 AM

Another vote for darker.

Both borders look nice, it mostly depends on your intent. The lighter gives the quilt an overall brighter look, the darker gives it a more subdued look. Personally, I'd go with the tan - darker version because I know how poorly while would last at my house :)

I vote for the darker. It looks more elegant.

2nd one.

QuiltE 04-05-2011 10:50 AM

Both are lovely ... give a slightly different look.




Would someone please tell me what a "bed runner" is?
Thanks!!

LAB55 04-05-2011 11:24 AM

How about a "bed scarf" - does that help? It is a decorative scarf to add to the end of one's bed. I don't know why any quilter would want to cover up their work with such a thing, but a beautiful quilted one would look lovely on a regular bedspread!

moonwolf47 04-05-2011 03:25 PM

#2 the darker one

Thanks Nini ... I get what you mean ... a mini quilt for decoration across the bed, with out the work of doing a full quilt.

Would let you show two off at the same time.

I usually have one on my bed ... and then use the footboard to show a second one off, as you would on a quilt rack. Then there's my trilevel quilt rack on the wall!! Yes, just a little quilty! :)

trolleystation 04-05-2011 04:24 PM

Darker too.

debbieoh 04-05-2011 05:17 PM
