Hello all,
I just completed my first rail/fence and it was really fun! I just need some help on what to do with my borders. Let me know which option you like best or if you have another suggestion!

I like option 1. The blue inner border really brings out the blue in the blocks.

Personally I would put a chocolate or dark plain brown as an inner border to stop the pattern then choose between the other two as an outside border!! My thought only!! Have fun!! Looks Great!!
