The colors of the quilt are the mustard/beige, red, green and navy from various Kansas Troubles lines. The creams are Buggy Barn.

Welcome! If you think that 6" is too wide, you can always put a small border first and then the 6". If you choose to put a smaller border first though, I'd make it the same width as your log cabin strips. And if you still think 6" is too wide, make it 5". Your quilt is quite pretty, so whatever you do will only enhance the charm and beauty of what you have already. Please, post a photo when you've finished.

I like the 6" border. It will frame your pretty LC nicely. 4" just looks skimpy as a last border, imho.

I love the borders, and I'd leave the blue one at 6 inches. If you're looking for a quilting plan, I did a log cabin and then did a SITD on every seam. It took me quite a bit of time, but the quilt looked awesome!

Check out the Fibonacci sequence. http://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/fi...-sequence.html This is a natural occurring mathematical sequence that occurs in the spirals of sea shells and petals of flowers.

Using the Fibonacci sequence, my suggestion would be a 5" border.

Thank you, everyone!

I just finished laying out my quilt with the different border sizes and I think that the 5" border actually looks the best. The 4" wasn't wide enough, and the 6" seemed too wide.

I did look at the Fibonacci sequence and it makes sense to use the 5". The 'logs' and inner border are 1", my centers are 2", the border will be 5" and the blocks themselves are 8".

I think six would be too wide, four sounds better.

My border width is usually determined by how much border fabric I have.

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful!! I vote for a 5" border.
