I barely got my 2 cents in and saw you had fixed it perfectly. It is now perfect. I love it.

I like the third one the best only because I think it ties in better with your center, but really, they all appear to be too busy and detract from the beauty of the center of your quilt.....IMHO.

I really like that you went back and tried the solid borders. The center pops out of the frame you've made of those.
BTW, what is the pattern you used on that or what is that technique called? Is it a type of bargello? I love the look, it is beautiful.

I love this one...the one with the narrow light border and wide black border.

I agree that they seem to distract from the center. Maybe something a little simpler and darker.

Well if I had looked at page 3, I would have seen that you changed it and it looks fantastic.
