Help Me Choose Please- Why EQ5 is evil
I'm with Linda - I like #2. If you made that white border something w/ a little
more silver in it, made it a little more sparkly than the white used in the snowflake......... Cappy "WitchyStitcher" wrote in message ... I would go for 2 or 6 since those were the ones that first hit me when I looked at all together.

Julie Richmond, VA Options 7 and 9 are good. Option 7 is very pretty but it needs a stronger color to really make it a man's quilt. Option 9 has the strong looking darker blue that really adds that manly touch. I especially like the size of the dark blue outer border on version 9, and the widths used on the inner border combo of the two narrow blues.

Then you could put one narrow dark blue border, one narrow light blue border, and one wider dark blue border at the outer edge. I'd make the dark outer border the same as in version 9. I bet you already tried that and it didn't work out right or something, but I had to ask. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |

I tried putting the pieced border there. The result was that it
confused the image of the center design. Thanks for the feedback everyone! Julie Richmond, VA In article , says...

I sympathize completely - I have EQ too. When I'm doing something new I
always end up with a gazillion variations before deciding on the final pattern. So...... when looking at your possibilities....I definitely like the darker borders, but I would only use one narrow inner border not a medium _and_ a dark blue one side by side. I find that the lighter one is lost. So my pick would be a variant of number 10, with only the dark borders. That being said, the final layout should be what _you_ like best. Or, at the very least, what your DH likes best. And no matter what it will look lovely (don't tell anyone else about the other possibilities G). Good luck!

Bummer. Thanks for letting me know about the image confusion anyway.
