Here are a couple more border ideas for my Dear Jane quilt. 
The top photo shows a 2 inch harlequin border and in the smaller photo is a 1 1/2 inch sawtooth border. I'm not sure that I have a preference to either (except that the harlequin border goes together a lot faster than making all of those tiny half square triangles for the sawtooth border) so I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions!
Hi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI really like the Harlequin, a lot calmer to look at, just my humble opinion of course.
Thanks for leaving a comment on the Buderim Patchwork blog, how impressive, 2nd comment. Thanks for the Birthday Wishes, we are all pretty excited about it over here.
Hope you win a prize.

Tough call, but I think I like the second one best. It seems more in line with the block size to me.
ReplyDeleteI love the diamonds!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the first one!!
ReplyDeleteI like the sawtooth one over the squares on point. However, if the squares on point had neutral on the outside & prints in the squares, I think that would be my favourite!

I like the Harlequin best. I think the squares and the regularity compliments the quilt somehow. Being easier is a nice bonus, too.
ReplyDeleteHia Susuan gosh I had a lot to catch up on here. 1st a congratulations on the centre of your Dear Jane quilt. It looks so good. The colours your've chosen work so well together. I like the harlequin border best out of all the ones you've shown. It doesn't dominate yet the size and design suit the blocks.
ReplyDeleteWow tough decision, but I do think I like the harlequin.
ReplyDeleteNot sure! I think the diamonds, which I prefer as a design, are a little dense and attract my eye. THere's just so much more concentrated color there than in the design. Could you lighten it a bit? It's so hard to tell from photos!
ReplyDeleteI like the Harlequin. It then becomes more of a closed colour/border if you know what I mean. Just love what you are doing :-)

My favorite is the narrow strip of the braid from the prior post best. I must say that they're all so pretty. I can't wait to see what you pick and a picture of the whole quilt!
ReplyDeleteI think I like the second one the best ,which ever you choose I'm sure it will look wonderful .
ReplyDeleteI really like Harlequin, it seems like a nice balance to your DJs! But having said this...I would love if you would do a tutorial of the *braided* border in the previous "choice" list :>)!! The *braided* border is really unique to me, and I would love to know how to do it! Have a great rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jackie, I like the narrow diagonal strip from your first post...the harlequin second. Whichever you do I think will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHarlequin border!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the sawtooth border best - lighter, more in scale with the blocks, less demanding on the viewer to NOTICE ME ... just adds a LOT to the overall quilt!
