[ATTACH=CONFIG]573116[/ATTACH]Here is the corner of my mess. Do y ou see that the two inch inner border is lost? I also do not like the whiter scallap border against the beige of the inner border. Not enough contrast.

I like the purple on the inside better. But it is your quilt and you are the one that will be living with it.

Remember to consider what you will be using for the binding.

I like what you have done. That the inner border disappears is not a problem as I see it. It blends with the white and only enlarges the look of the scallop effect. I really like it. The whole quilt is beautiful.

I agree with ube quilting - I like the way you have it. In the original pictures, I liked how the narrow cream border blends with the cream of the outer border. It creates a nice visual space between the inner and outer purple. With the outer border turned the other way the cream border is more distinct, but I find it visually choppy.

I like the way you currently have it as well. Rather than the narrow cream being a border accent, it carries the background from the body of the quilt beyond the purple inner border. I like how that highlights the inner purple.

Sometimes what we see up close gives a different impression than seeing the whole quilt.

Ultimately, though, it's your quilt, so it should be what looks best to you

First, let me say that your quilt is gorgeous. What I would do is take the middle beige border off and run the outer border (with the purple on the outer edge) up against the purple inner border. I don't think the middle border is necessary. In fact, I think it would be better without it. Just my humble opinion. It will be a lovely quilt whatever you do.

Yes, get the ripper out. Start ripping stitches from the bobbin side. Then pull loose from top thread. It'll go fast. I just ripped a long one yesterday. Your quilt is beautiful.

My post was for the ripping of your first dilemma. I see that you did Re sew the boarder. I like it the way you have it now. Beautiful, please show when done. I also enjoyed the comments about binding choices.

I would just like to say it's a beautiful quilt and it's your quilt, do what your're comfortable with. Me, I think I would leave it just the way it is. But, if you are going to be unhappy with it every time you look at it, well.......

Whatever you decide, I vote for them to go the same way, whichever it is. I checked out the sites mentioned and I agree with the comment about the green binding. A deep purple would look much better, IMHO. Beautiful, beautiful quilt.
