Good luck choosing between those border options. Your quilt, your rules. I will say that the good thing about the black and tan borders is that they would look great with a red binding! :o))The Joyful Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706614750500929214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-83648616984815482392020-08-24T18:57:15.101-05:002020-08-24T18:57:15.101-05:00I like the bold red inner border -- what can I say...I like the bold red inner border -- what can I say, I'm a fan of red!
