    I agree! A blue border and then call it quits! I feel that the squares that aren't done are falling off the side and a border would hold it all in. just me though.

    I like the idea of a blue border with a scrappy binding. That is from a Roll Tide fan.

    I have no dog in that fight.LOL the GF said she was an Auburn fan, so while in Al over the 4th I went and found the Auburn fabric. I have lots of Roll Tide fabric here already. Her son said he is an Alabama fan, so might make him a quilt too.

    A pieced border would work but the Auburn fabric won't show much. What are you doing on the back? Maybe you could use that strip there?
    Hadn't thought about the back yet, but using the rest of the Auburn fabric there is a good idea. Thanks for the food for thought.

    border or not?-auburn1.jpg border or not?-auburn2.jpg

    does this look more finished on the edge. I can take off that small edge.

    Much better! But they both look good too.
