    Default Help me decide borders

    I made this D9P with mostly blue and yellow. Two fabrics have some pink. I bought this pink fabric but now I think it is too bright? I'm not very good at picking out colors so I would like some of your expert opinions also what color would you put on the back.

    I like the yellow for inner border and blue for outer border. I think the pink draws to much attention from the middle.

    agree with the others. Yellow inner and blue outer. The pink is the wrong shade of pink from what I can see. It looks like a little deeper rose or coral. Maybe if you like the pink, find one a little darker and use it for the binding.

    I like the last one. Blue inner, and yellow outer. I think it frames it up the best.

    Same here. Or... how about a very narrow (.5-1 inch) pink, followed by slightly larger yellow, followed by still larger blue outer?

    I agree with yellow inner and blue outer border. I would also like the light and dark blue as borders. The pink is too much of a contrast for a border but if you really like it I think it would be fine as the backing. Personally I would do the inner border in yellow, the outer border, binding and backing all in the light blue because I would quilt it in off white or light blue thread and I like to have my backing the same color as the quilt thread to help hide boo-boos!!
