Border Options

I think I've made enough borders to make an entire quilt! 


I started with blue strings...



I sewed them to phone book foundations



And trimmed them.  Don't they look so nice and neat all trimmed?


Layed them out


And tried them on the quilt.  It was okay, but not quite what I wanted.



I guess I could use them to make a quilt

 Next, I tried a checkerboard border.  It was okay, but I still wasn't sure.



I tried piano keys


And then a braided border. So far, it's between the braided border and the checkerboard border.


Then I tried a different braided border.  This one adds a light square down the center and matches the left and right sides. 


Here's a recap of the checkerboard, piano keys and French Braid


And the two French Braids in dim lighting


And a slightly brighter one.

I'm still not sure.  Should I just pick one and get busy making it?  Should I try a few other options?
