I think #3 detracts away from your beautiful piecing by being irregularly spaced. Number 2 blends very well with what you have done and frames your pinapples, does not detract, but keeps interest. Number 4, however adds an interesting element, is evenly spaced and compliments your pineapples, too.Mormorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202954161037960098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-24480925752423339632018-04-27T20:23:30.910-04:002018-04-27T20:23:30.910-04:00Some of these options are really cool, but - YES!!...Some of these options are really cool, but - YES!!!! - I am completely, fabulously, in love with the partial-block scalloped-edge design you landed on.

I vote for #2, too! I look forward to seeing a picture of it on your bed, totally finished, in all it’s glory. Thanks for the encouragement to use EQ!

With that being said I like number 2 best. It is a safe choice. Option one keeps me intrigued when I think of the overhang and seeing the coral border from the side. I think it would draw the eye to that color throughout the quilt. One does want the eye to travel through the colors, right? If so, option one does that better. <br /><br />I can’t wait for o see which version you choose. Or you may come up with a completely different idea as you ponder. <br /><br />SJSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370080233134944653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-86192457807492897412018-04-26T10:11:26.365-04:002018-04-26T10:11:26.365-04:00Your pineapple blocks are lovely!

They are fantastic! Any one of the borders that you showed will work great. I'm going to throw a wrench in the works and say that I like the flying geese border the best. I can't give you a good "design theory" reason why, it just appeals to me. Totally personal preference; however, that doesn't mean I dislike the others. They all look great! Ha! Ha! How's that for no help at all? :) So go with your gut and the one that grabs you most.<br />Janice Holtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803878601842686593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-91683655352221887102018-04-26T08:34:48.473-04:002018-04-26T08:34:48.473-04:00I was wondering the same thing as Debbie---blue an...I was wondering the same thing as Debbie---blue and green piano keys.<br />Marty Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-48707076425170208752018-04-26T07:33:32.008-04:002018-04-26T07:33:32.008-04:00Option three sings to me.

My eye isn’t pulled away from the gorgeous pineapple blocks with this option. The other borders pull my eye to the borders instead of staying on the blocks. I know you are excited to have this quilt top near completion.

I always make my quilts bigger than the charts say for a queen size - I have a deep mattress and I like lots of overhang - my hubby tends to grab the covers and I have to grab back so I want a lot of quilt to deal with. I usually aim for 104 x 104 and with shrink up I know it will be down to 100 x 100 or 96 x 98 shrinkage is never the same and a couple even though I thought would be large enough ended up being almost too small.<br />Love this quilt you are doing .Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-666851892806993822018-04-25T18:38:04.450-04:002018-04-25T18:38:04.450-04:00Wow what awesome blocks.

Excellent! <br />As for your borders, I like # three with the 2 color borders of the darks along with the square in a square corners. (I personally think the flying geese are out of proportion.) Did you look at the piano key border option in just blues and greens and no backgrounds?<br /><br />I envy your creative talents using EQ. It makes design a whole new concept. I keep fighting the the price tag. <br /><br />Debbietime4stitchnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722346302931004848noreply@blogger.com
