Dito I agree. I think the boarders take away from the beauty of the Qilt detail.

I don't care for any of them. They are too busy for your center and take away from the fractured look. IMHO a solid, simple border would best complement your work.

Yes, I agree with choice #3. It compliments your beautiful quilt perfectly!

I like the darker colors but I think a simpler design is called for. maybe just a couple of borders to frame with out piece work.

actually i tend to like the third one too since it's very different and seems to look better with your fracture quilt.

I like number three - the colors chosen for your EQ program are not the true colors to be used, am I right? So, ignoring colors and looking at design only, I choose 3. and, now that I've seen option # 4 - I like that the best!!!

I like the first one because it is simple and bold, leaving the focus on the center.

Oh dog house mom! That picture is so beautiful. It is so soft and then your eyes go to the stark lines of the border. Please go softer on the border! I just love it.
