OK here are 2 more.................... When so many responses were number one in the last post, I remembered this one with wildflowers with red/pink/rust in with the green. Border choice 5 Border choice 6 (Rebel wanted to see more pink!)
Added at 3:30 p.m. I still haven't decided which one to use so I am going to sew on something else today. I can still work on this one on Monday which is borders day on my daily list. Keep voting!
OK, not to be difficult, but what about a narrow strip of the hot pink (LC suggested a thing strip) and then a wider border of #1. #5 seems to have too much rust in it.
I second Teresa since that was going to be my suggestion - thin slice of the hot pink for the WOW factor and #1. I also like the green frog for the back.
Can I vote for no border? The choices actually all work pretty well, but I'm not sure they add to the design overall. The more medium tones, like #3 and #5 detract the least, thus accentuating the design most. But #6 would pop. Are you considering maybe a double border with pink and a green?
WEll I seem to be in the minority but I like the pop from the pink (#6) the best. It just seems to give it more sparkle. Cannot wait to hear what you decide. Hope you are having a nice weekend.
Funny - I don't like the pink at all. I thought it was overwhelming. Guess that's why taste is personal. I like number 5 best, with number 1 a close second.
My vote is #1 with a thin border strip of the hot pink to make it all pop! I thought of this the second I saw that pink... And use the frogs in the backing!
I hate to be difficult, but what about just a plain black border? And...if you wanted to get fancy, a tiny band of white or pink before you add the black border.
I like the #1 the best too, I think because it brings out the greeens and also has the pinks. #6 is too much pink for me, this quilt already is pretty pink!
I can't decide. I think a combination would do the trick. Maybe a narrow green inner border, then the pink as an outer border. If I had to pick just one, I'd go with the pink in this post...just because I like the fabric better,
I LOVE Number 1 from the previous post. It looks like a match made in Heaven to me!!! It POPS!! Of course, it's your quilt as I always tell folks!! Hope all is well!! Patty Cramer pattycramer.blogspot.com

Number 1 or number 5 are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI still like number 1 from the last post the best.
ReplyDeleteI'm still partial to #1. You could still use the froggy fabric for the back though.
ReplyDeleteWOW the pink really makes rosebud 'pop'. I now vote for #6.
ReplyDeleteJ~MT
p.s. This is fun... do you have the border sewn on already ?
I'm voting for the pink one, too #6 - it erally makes those greens in the body stick out - and I'm partial to green ;)
ReplyDeleteEven with six choices...number 1 looks best to me
ReplyDelete#1 or #5, but I think I prefer #5.
ReplyDeleteNumber one is still my choice. second perhaps 6.... certainly a wow factor!
ReplyDeleteNumber 1 or 5 - no doubt!

ReplyDeleteI vote for a thin pink border and then a wider pink and green mottled #1 or #5 option. That was fun to think about!
ReplyDeleteI vote for border #1 and I love your blog, reading it every day for nearly 5 months now.
ReplyDeleteI have been quilting since 1974, not quite as long as you.
1 or 5 for me, too!
ReplyDeleteI vote #1!
ReplyDeleteI like the green in this post.

I vote for 1, 6 or 3 - I like all three of those, but if I had to choose, I'd go for 1.

ReplyDelete#1 or #5 but use #6 for binding.

ReplyDelete#1, Pink and Green mottled.

ReplyDeleteNumber 1. I came in late but I would have picked the first anyway. Love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteI might be the only person who likes #2 best -- I think it makes the darker parts of the quilt pop" a bit more than the others....
ReplyDeletePINK!! #6 LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the pink! Wowsers!

ReplyDeleteI vote for #1 and #6. A thin #6 and and finish with #1. Thank you for allowing us to be a part.
ReplyDeleteHey Wanda,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Number 1 from the previous post. It looks like a match made in Heaven to me!!! It POPS!! Of course, it's your quilt as I always tell folks!!

How about a very narrow border of the pink (¼") followed by a wider one of the frog fabric from the other post?
