    Default Need advice on border Please

    Here is the quilt, its a dresden plate, my question to you is does this border make it too busy?

    I like it with the color between to separate the plates from the border. It definitely tones down any busy-ness though I think it would be gorgeous either way! The whole quilt is beautiful...great work!

    I really like the multi color border. I think it finishes the quilt and find my eye drawn to the Dresden plates that are framed with a solid.
    your quilt is beautiful.

    I love the multi colored border. It seems to really draw your eye to the dresden plate, but I don't care for the teal border with it. I think just the multi colored border.

    Love your colors! Great quilt. I prefer it without the teal border. Congratulations on your sale!

    I like it, but I would move the teal to the outside to give a more stable edge.
