Hmm, One Row or Two??

The rug is hooked but not steamed or bound yet.  Before it is steamed I need to decide if it needs just one row of brown border or two.  I don't want to overpower the delicateness of the design.
But also don't want to make it seem incomplete.  For sure I wouldn't want a two inch border as that would be too bold.  Instead of hooking a row I just placed a strip of brown wool around the perimeter take a look on my screen.  
Well dang, you can see the foundation between the hooked strip and just the wool strip.  So what do you think?  One or two rows?

  2. I like two rows - looks more "complete" and grounded. :-)

  3. two rows (or even 3, depending on how you plan to finish the piece. If you're whipping with dark yarn, maybe just 2).

  5. Hi Saundra!
    LOVE this rug. Gorgeous darling, just like you
    I’m liking the one row but it may be a case of having to be there.
