The monochrome is much less jarring and still striking, I think.

Like Dot and Duyvken said, might want to try it with a narrow black border. I think that would enhance the hugs n kisses and take the focus away from which ever border fabric you use. Gona be a great quilt.Donahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049210999632843329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1137626358240990872006-01-18T18:19:00.000-05:002006-01-18T18:19:00.000-05:00I'd have a hard time deciding because I like both ...I'd have a hard time deciding because I like both options.

Try it with a narrow black or navy border (something with no red in it) and see if that then works with your beautiful multi fabric. It should give the letters the little extra space they need to stand on their own but also pick up all the beautiful colours in the border fabric. I look forward to seeing what your decide!Duyvkenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660918523479855890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1137593356056982232006-01-18T09:09:00.000-05:002006-01-18T09:09:00.000-05:00Probably just my eyes, but when I look at the top ...Probably just my eyes, but when I look at the top version, it looks like the letters are "rising up" out of the deeper color.<BR/>With the lower version, to me, it seems they are "floating down" into the wild batik.

I would put a narrow black border around the x/o's before the purple then the red then finish with the tie dyed wild cloth. Oh well I like black in quilts so that is my two cents. I enjoy looking at your creativity.dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648984294507789296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1137554437710140272006-01-17T22:20:00.000-05:002006-01-17T22:20:00.000-05:00I vote for the wild border too, but either way it ...I vote for the wild border too, but either way it is going to look great!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279587152020518954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1137545747333912282006-01-17T19:55:00.000-05:002006-01-17T19:55:00.000-05:00I love the bright multi-coloured batik...

I'd be tempted to use it for an interior border then go to the more solid, cause you're right the X and O are a less central focus with it as a wide outside border...<BR/><BR/>It'll be bright and cheerful whatever you go with :-)quiltpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027878871572340928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-1137528396669552742006-01-17T15:06:00.000-05:002006-01-17T15:06:00.000-05:00I like the top one best too.

I love the purply/pink most inner border with the X's and O's.<BR/><BR/>I think either of these work - but you know, I keep wanting you to put that wild fabric on the outside!
