I like it without the extra border but either way that is beautiful. The colors are so bright!

I like it with the teal border but you can put it inside or out of the multi one...Very nice quilt

I agree with dunster. Try it I think you will like it looking forward to seeing the grand finish.

I love the pieced border - but am not crazy about the blue border...your other colors are either brighter or bolder - something....this color just does not seem to fit with the quilt........I much prefer the pieced border with just the white border.......Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL and I am sure will be even more so, whichever way you decides to go!!

I like the border with the color in between the quilt and border, it gives a nice place for the eye to stop and then the unique striped border adds lots of pizzaz to the quilt, which is absolutely gorgeous.

I really like your pieced border and I would prefer it without the teal border. That teal border seems to stop the eye and then the beautiful border seems to be an add-on rather than just a continuation of the beautiful Dresden colors. Your color combination is very pleasing and 'happy feeling'.

I think the multi-colored border is a brilliant choice, looks great. It may be my eyes but the teal colored border doesn't seem to match the other colors.

I love the quilt, with just the multi-border. It is a direct repeat of the colors. Pretty!
