I really like the drunkard's path you have and also like the border but tend to agree that while it looks good it may not be perfect. A lot of good suggestions have been made so you have options to experiment with. Your piecing and curves are perfect, drunkard's path is one of my favorite patterns because there are so many ways to lay it out. Keep us posted as to how you finish up.

I like it but if it was mine i would put a 2 or 3 inch light colored or light gray strip around the top then add the border. beautiful quilt and you matched everything nicely but i think if u did that you might like it better... :)
|
maybe a narrow border of the light fabric between the dp and the print border?
|
I think it looks great as it is. You did a good job of picking a border that compliments the drunkard's path pattern.

Looks good to me!!!!

It is a beautiful top. The floral border looks nice to me and I feel works well with the whole colour scheme. Perhaps it would work better to have a thin light border between the blocks and the floral border? About 1/2"-2" in width depending on your preference? You could try a cream, white, grey, tan or yellow colour maybe? Just a suggestion. I think that you need to do what you feel is right for you. Best wishes and I look forward to seeing your completed quilt! Thank you for the opportunity to offer my thoughts. :)

I like it alot but maybe try a 2" plain color between the drunkards path and the floral???

I don't love the geometric/modern look of the quilt and the more traditional, floral border. I think a border in the maroon solid would be perfect, or maybe a slightly darker complimentary color - a dark neutral grey?. The quilt is gorgeous!!

I like the contrast between the border and the blocks. I was trying out a pattern from Eleanor Burns and I ended up with a long thin quilt center. I also did not have enough fabric to make it wider. I bordered it and will hopefully use it as a quilt for a cancer raffle. I will try to post pic tomorrow to get opinions as you have done. Yours looks better then mine!

I don't see a problem, I like it just as it is
