Dear Bella,
I also like the black boarder, but I think, as a second boarder you need something more colourful, it seems the orange patternd boarder takes away the inner colour. Maybe a clear strong red would let the quilt shine. (I don`t know how to better express).
Does it go better with your mother? Sorry, I was not here the last days and could not follow, but you are always in my mind.
MAny regards
REnate
