Help with Wolf border
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions for patterns to show off my limited Wolf fabric. Here's what I went with. Now for borders. My husband likes the trees going sideways since that will be facing up when it drapes along the side of the bed. I like the upright as it follows the trees in the quilt. Also, is the light gray inner border too light to frame the busy quilt?

I like the trees on the border going the same direction as the in the quilt also.
I usually go with a darker or brighter first border just to make a frame, but it's totally a matter of preference. The lighter border is fine too.

Adding my two cents. I would do it the way your husband wants. Not because I like it better, but because I wouldn't want to hear for the rest of my life how it would have looked better to do it his way.

I am trees a the same direction voter. Nice use of the wolves fabric and the coordinating and complementing other fabrics are perfect. . Good for you. If it feels weird or odd to you with the trees going sideways, then you have your answer.

very funny! The quilt will go to a graduating senior so he’ll never see it again!
