Well okay! LOL even thought I prefer it without the inner border, I plan to put this quilt up for sale when it's finished, so if the majority prefer it with the inner border, I do believe that's the way I will make it!

I really appreciate the help! Bright colors are WAY outside of my comfort zone, I prefer neutrals in black, tans, creams and browns, and would never make a quilt like this for myself, but I am LOVING playing with colors on quilts since it's not for me!!!!!!!

with the black inner border, the blocks look like they are 'floating' makes you look twice - looks hand made and very well designed. IMHO, that is, and again IMNO no border makes it look crowded.

I think the inner border is perfect.

I don't think you have trouble selling this! I agree with using the inner border also. Good luck!

My humble opinion.... I like the one with the border. I also think it breaks it up a little bit.

Exactly!!!
