Need opinions please
#1
Hi, I just finished the top for the queen quilt I have been commissioned to make. NOW, I am not sure about the second blue border strip. What do you think - please be honest. Should I take the second blue border off? I hope you can see them okay in the pictures.
I will be using this color for the binding so even if I take it off, there will be a small amount of that color on the outer edge. I just don't know if I like it this way - thanks for your opinion, I value it. Everyone is so great on this board!

Unless the quilt would be to small or the owner really wants that pieced border I would eliminate it all together. I usually end my quilts with a very narrow border of an accent color, say the blue and then a wider border in a solid if the quilt is busy, before doing the binding. IF you have enough left of the yellow print for the wider border it might look great.
