I like the thinner one myself. The other one makes the diamonds look off sides.

wide border in my opinion. Great quilt. Love the colors. Calm and soothing, yet great pop to make it interesting. Great Job!

I also like the wider border. I really like your quilt in memory of your husband. Very nice.

For a while I thought I was the only one who liked the thinner border.

Thanks for the info.
Checked out the Spoonflower link. When I have more time, I am going to have a closer look at that site. Looks interesting.

My condolences on the loss of your husband.

Thanks again.
