    Moreover adding two borders would make it wider than 44" which would necessitate a pieced backing :-(
    It is a race against time. Finished quilt is due July 26th.
    Looks great!

    I was going to vote bright, but I see you made a decision already! Looks like a great choice with those awesome giraffes

    I like the bright green and yellow (not really the other two) both the brights look great. Maybe even use a little of one for a narrow border and then use the other in a fatter border. Lovely quilt!

    I was going to say bright green but you already picked. The yellow looks great!

    I think the bright green, it matches the green in some of the giraffes. Oops too late !

    You are right, Lilyjo :-) The green picks up the green in the giraffes print. That is why I chose bright green as one of the options. The reason I decided against green is that it does not look that great next to the teal. Adding a skinny white inner border would solve that problem. Since two borders option was out (time and width), I went for yellow.
    Actually, if you look closely, the yellow picks some yellow flecks from the giraffe print too. It is the second best option, in my opinion. OK then, off to quilt my lil heart out :-)

    It's a pretty quilt Preeti!

    I like the yellow border!

    Have you chosen the binding yet? The bright green would look good for the binding.

    No matter what you choose, I know it will look beautiful and they will love it.

    That's strange, I'm sure I answered this yesterday, but it's disappeared.
    I hadn't noticed the yellow in the giraffes Preeti, it does match and it is beautiful.
