    Default Need opinions please

    I made this baby quilt but am debating still about the border. Need opinions please-quilt-whitney.jpg

    It is similar to this other quilt I made but visually I like the red argyle border better, but can no longer find this fabric.

    So, do I still with the orangy argyle or find something else?

    Hey Bella,

    You know that border distracted me from seeing the kids playing in the fabric. One of the kids has a striped PJ's, and another a check shirt so maybe that is why the print takes away? I like the solid Black inner border. Do you have a stripe or maybe a red or tan solid for the 2nd?

    Just tossing thoughts out!

    I would say a solid is better.

    I like it just as it is - the first one has a solid orange border - at first I couldn't tell the difference - I think they are both perfect!!!

    I like the black bordered one. The corners on the other one I find distracting.

    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

    Great minds think alike. I totally agree. I love a true Argyle... which is what you have on your quilt. It's adorable!

    I like the black border. It frames and draws attention to the center nicely. Cute fabric.

    I also like it just as it is Very cute. I had to look close to realize the argyle's were different and not just inner borders.
    To quilt or not to quilt?.....what a ridiculous question!
