    Default Border remorse.

    I did the Super Bowl mystery quilt and was not happy with my border choice

    That turned out nice. I like doing mystery quilts. Not always happy with the results but fun anyway.

    Don't know what it looked like before but it sure is pretty now.

    Very pretty now ~ would like to have seen it with the first border, too, but love it the way it is!

    I love the red block in the green border completing the pattern

    The first was a print that I used for my color pallet...but I did not think it added any thing to the center ... Here was the first border. Thanks for looking.

    I think that was a good decision to replace the border. Such a difference!

    Good choice! The new border really sets it off and it is a beautiful quilt!!!

    The first wasn't horrible but your last choice is definitely best, IMHO, worth the effort to replace it.
