    This is a baby quilt I am working on. One picture is the blocks side by side, the second is with a border between them. I can't decide which looks better. The blocks were a kit so I am trying to figure out how to finish the project out. If you were to use a border how wide would you do?

    both look good but the purple really makes it pop.maybe a 2 or 2 1/2 inch border would be perfect

    I would use a border between the blocks 1" wide.

    The purple sashing really sets off the blocks, that is my vote :D:D:D

    I like it better without the border because you get a secondary design.
