Black & White & Bright All Over Jane - Border Options

I am working on the final layout for the Dear Jane quilt I am making using black and white fabrics as the background, and bright fabrics for the pattern.  I have decided not to make all of the pieced border blocks for this one. Instead, I will make the pieced version of the corner kites and I will piece a border triangle for the middle of each side. Other than that, I will alternate the black on black polka dot I'm also using for the sashing with black & white triangles.

Here are the options:

Option 1

Option 2
I thought I would like option 2 best, but now I'm leaning toward option 1.f I choose option 1, I will need to remake that corner kite with a black and white background -- which may be enough for me to decide on option 1!!  There will be a scalloped or straint border beyond the triangles - haven't decided that part yet.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Which option do you like, and why? Well I have decided it isn't close and the clear choice is option 1. Off to remake that corner kite.

  1. I like option 1. Most importantly - you like it. Your blocks are wonderful, very striking with the black and white border.
