Borders

Wonky Jacob's Ladder

I picked this design from my 10 September 2010 post to add borders to.

What if I start by duplicating the block grid around the outside of the design?

What if I use part of the design as cornerstones and fill in between with stripes?

This is too busy for me.

What if I make a border composed of simple squares?

This might work with a different design but I don't think it suits this one.

What if I place a multicolored accent border on the inside and add plain borders around it?

The accent border does not pick up the rhythm of the design like I hoped it would.

What if I forget the accent border?

This is pleasant and it works, but I don't like having the narrow border on the outside.

What if I play with the width of the borders?

I like this better.

What if I give the design more "breathing " space?

I think this has a bit more punch. So this is my final answer.
