    I vote for the first one with a narrow dark border inside the wide lighter one.

    I think the second one is lovely. I think the dark border in the first photo takes too much attention from the quilt interior (it's hard to drag your eye away from it), but in the second photo, the interior of the quilt really stands out.

    Very tough choice to make as they both look great to me. Glad you have to make that decision! I do love both those border fabrics and the colors in the quilt in general. Is that a D9P? What a great way to put it together!

    Thank you! . It started as a Dp9 with a few other fabrics. I found it too busy, so swapped out a few of my fabrics, decided to use the lightest colors outside of the center, and sort of morphed my layout into the Falling Charms pattern (from Missouri Star Quilt Co).

    I like the first option also. The light outer border echoes the softness of the quilt body.

    I agree with most. The first combo is really pretty and the narrow dark border makes it pop!

    I like the first choice. A dark blue binding would look nice,too. Pretty quilt!
