border dilemma
My plan was to use the two-color spacer border with the diamond rectangle inner border. But now that I've sewn it on I'm having second thoughts. I'm seriously considering replacing it with either the hearts or the purple. Or I could use the large paisley that will be the outer border. The inner spacer border is 1.5 inches wide. I liked it when I "dry fit" it, but now, not so much. Opinions please and thank you.

I prefer the bottom one with the thin paisley and diamonds for the outer border. Either way you are going to lose a bit of the diamonds. Hope to see the finished quilt. I really like what I can see so far.

the diamonds are already made so can't scale them down. the comments about the large paisley are interesting because that is the fabric the quilt designer used as the border. The quilt, as designed, is too small for my bed. I added the diamond border to make it bigger.

Well good luck on this decision! This is why I don't make many quilts: I am too indecisive when there are Many great options.
Sometimes I just say "to heck with it" and do whatever.
Please do share when you've finished - I'm sure it will be wonderful - the center of it is already that...
