This is so pretty - but, I think it needs another border too :) Great job!

I was going to vote no to the second border, but k3n makes a good point about the closeness to the border. So, now I vote yes to the second border. Good luck, I hope it doesn't wear you out too much. I absolutely love this quilt!

Your quilt is too nice to stop now ! A second border would be great and frame your work nicely! It'll be worth the trouble and you will be glad when your'e finished.

I think if you don't want the last border that you should do what you want, pam. That is what is so neat about quilting, making it your own design that makes you happy.

Yeah... After looking at it more I agree that it looks unfinished with just the small border.

Did I ever mention that long straight cuts of fabric are my weakness and I put it off forever? :P

You could always do a pieced border, if you like that better! :wink:

You can definately tell that you are a mother... "If you don't like that you can have THIS!" :lol:
