Okay, so I've been busting my butt on this quilt (in case those of you were wondering why you're not getting replies as quickly as normal). I have to have the top finished by Thursday so I can actually quilt it on Friday using a longarm machine.
Anyway, I digress. The main part of the top is larger than expected. This is supposed to be a twin quilt but it's already twin sized! So, instead of adding two borders as planned, I'm pondering whether or not I should just leave them off. Kurt thinks I should do at least one border.
This is where you come in! Which do you think I should do?
With a border? http://www.blar.net/amanda/quilts/wborders.jpg.png
Or without? http://www.blar.net/amanda/quilts/woutborders.jpg.png
Now I know most of you aren't quilters, but that doesn't mean you can't give me your opinion. ;-)
With border, it's somehow clearer that way. Without it looked like a headache. Sorry, Amanda but it did.
With border, here, too.
With border -- though I still couldn't look at it for very long.
It doesn't have the headache-inducing effect in real life, I can guarantee. ;)

If you say so, brother. And I would guess that cloth is a bit less intense than electrons.
But I vote for borders
The colours aren't quite that intense, but it was easier to show with and without border using pixels. :)
I'll post a picture when it's done!
Btw, I did add a single border. The quilt is now 4 inches shy of being a 'full size' quilt. so a bit bigger than a twin. :-D The length is actually almost queen size! Of course, it will shrink a bit once I trim and square it. ;-D
