Snail’s Trail borders?
2009 September 16
Well, I played around with a few different border ideas for the snails trail quilt. I have 6 different ones here. Which one should I go with?
#1
#2
#3
This border would not be pink, I’m just showing the design. I’m not sure what color I would go with, if I choose this one.
#4
Same with this one, I don’t think I would use turquoise. But you can see the design.
#5
#6
Well? What do you think? Do any of these add pizazz?

I think I like all of them! Well..I’m not as excited about the black and white one..but I think the Delectable Mts one (last) is my favorite! You are making me anxious to start the Judy Martin quilt I have been aching to start forEVER : Virginia Stars Sampler. There are 25 Snail Trail blocks in that quilt! That does not count the alternate blocks or border blocks. I think I hear a UFO calling my name first! lolol
I like 1, 2, 3, and 5. You didn’t make this easy!!!! If I had to pick only one, I guess it would be . . . hmmmm . . . #2, but I’d put colors in instead of white.
I would choose #1 or #6. I think #6 it would be in the end.
Love your quilt!

Either #1 or #6. I like the simplicity of #1 and the pizzaz of #6. It might be the border itself I am in love with on #6, rather than the way it looks on this particular quilt. There is so much movement in the quilt I am not sure more in the border really helps.
My vote is #2, just like the simplicity of it.
I think I favor 3 and 6. 5 seems to busy, 2 is cool too.
I vote for #5 and #1 is a close contender.
2 and 6 are my picks, with 6 being the favourite
I think #6 is the one – but I like #2 also… Number 6 definitely gives you pizazz!!!
Thank you everyone! I liked getting different opinions. It looks like #1, #2 and #6 seem to be the favorites. I was debating between the simplicity of #1 and the pizazz of #6, but then I also liked the look of #2! I think I’ll play around with making some of the delectable mountain blocks and see how it looks. If I don’t care for it once I get started, I will go with the simplicity of #1. Thanks again!
Theresa, I’m going with number 1 or 5
