Design Wall Monday

 

I finally got the separator bands attached and the final black border for the french braid.  Now I am struggling with which big borders to go with to finish it off.  I really like the matching horses strips but unfortunately I only have enough to do the bottom or maybe the bottom and a couple of sections on each side with a solid color.  We are going to do the applique project for the top border so that is taken care of.  I think that I am getting to that point in the quilt...you know when you just want to be through with it!!  Any input is appreciated for the borders.  I was playing with the purple or blue from the braids.  I was leaning toward the purple because that is the color for the back and she is a girl so blue might be a little masculine for her.  What do you think?

I think purple would make a good border for a girl. I love what you have done with the guilt top. The colors are awesome.

Your quilt is beautiful - I love your color selections!

I like the blue border better--I don't think it makes the quilt masculine. Think of blue skies behind a rainbow. Lovely colors!

Wow lots of color, love it. You have probably alredy moved on with the borders but for the record I think either color would work.
