Which border would you chose?

Well, I think I am going to go off the beaten path here. I would use a thin border of the dots, a bit bigger of the brown and then wider on the pink & off white. Told you it was off the path. What will the applique be? Loved the fact that you prewashed the fabric. Good luck. Hope this helped somewhat.

Forgot to share what I am sure will make some of you laugh out loud. Because I never prewash and decided to try this time - each piece of fabric I use is first measured and I allow for shrinkage, washed and ironed - remeasured and cut to size needed. So it is slow going. I do not want a bunch of prewashed fabric mixed in with my not washed fabric so....... Imagine I need one piece 1 1/2 " by 20" - I measure, cut and wash, dry and iron, measure and cut each and every time... LOL This quilt is a test to see if prewashing is in my future or not.

I agree with Candace! I was leaning toward the right, just because I liked the fabric with stars, but after I read Candace say, the quilt not the border should pop, I took another look! Yes, I agree with Candace!
