Very pretty. I liked the darker border. Seemed to finish the pattern nicely. Great job. Love the color choices of the blues and taupe.

Beautiful! Isn't it funny how a border can make or break a quilt?

New Border Choice

I hated this quilt prior (see picture of the brown border I started with, it was all wrong for a variety of reasons for this quilt). However, now I am very happy with it! So glad I took the time to change them out. :-)

Excellent choice, it looks lovely!
