    I like the white - just maybe a little thinner. Beautiful quilt

    Where is the quilt going? Is it a dark room or a light sunfilled room? Then it is your choice. Though I do like a small white inner border.

    I don't like the white because it's too stark - even if it was narrower. If you wanted to add another border, I think it needs to be one of the darker batiks/solids....

    I think you need a thinner white border. Quilt is very pretty. Nice job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    White, but thinner, just to break up the two colors. If its too wide it distracts. Nice quilt!
