Great quilt. Darker border would make rest of quilt pop. Love the polka dots.

I think it is fabulous just the way you have it!!! That is a great quilt; don't change a thing!

Such a beautiful quilt, I would go with the thin white border and then a slightly larger border of the material that surrounds the blocks. (or maybe even a black) I think it would really make the quilt outstanding.

I agree with those that want a darker border, even black-the purple looks out of place IMHO.

That's what I was thinking. If there isn't enough of the first border fabric (the dark one) can you make a pieced border, maybe piano keys, with the dark, pink and purple?

What are you planning to use for the binding? If the binding is a darker fabric, then the lighter border won't seem to be so visually out of place. I really like it, especially your cornerstones, but do think it needs the dark finish.

I agree with the darker border. It's a beautiful quilt and the cornerstones compliment the quilt.

Thank you all for your opinions! I really needed them…

Does one of those fabrics work better?
#2 fabric I have enough of
#1 I don’t have enough to make a border along the length of the fabric (warp)

It needs a darker something on the outside. It's like the first dark border stops your eyes then the lighter turns them loose to go again, away from the pretty inside.

I do like the blue - brings out the same colour in the inner blocks - what about a blue border that is about double the width of the light outer border, then finish off with either the darker reds or do you have more of the darker garden fabric - about the same width of the two narrow outer borders (cream + blue)?

LOVE the cornerstones - really ties everything together!
