And I'm liking the outer border on the left as well. I agree with 'Art by Rhoda Forbes' about putting it aside for a day or two, sometimes just overnight ('sleeping on it') can give you a new perspective.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269515762453672402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-54387713631824095672015-01-23T18:38:42.661-05:002015-01-23T18:38:42.661-05:00I like the black border.

I like the blocks facing out, but with the black inner border that might not look as good. There's my two cents, for what it's worth. However, whatever you choose that is a gorgeous quilt!Quilting Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16964800066332039021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-29940892268922388052015-01-23T18:07:05.177-05:002015-01-23T18:07:05.177-05:00Go with what pleases you.

I think the black sashing is too much of a contrast with the blocks themselves. But then I do like blended quilts....

I don't like the sashing blending with the blocks in either the border or the center as the very light one does, and the blue sashing just doesn't do anything for me. If you use the dark brown, the border blocks should be turned with the pink in.<br /><br />I really like the efffect you got where your blocks joined.

As to the border in or out I would have to see both ways up against the one border to make a better decision. But it is fabulous.
