    Default What would you do .....

    First, I apologise for the image! This is just a few blocks I've made which are sitting on a white sheet to give me some idea of the look. The bed is only 4ft (don't know if you have those in the US) and has a end board so a quilt will not hang down at the foot so-o-o-o I'm wondering where to start and finish the blocks before I think about borders. I have to bear in mind that the bottom border will actually showing ON the bed. Where would go from here - more blocks? wide borders? Thanks in advance

    I also like it the way it is! Then bind it in the dark teal fabric!

    Keeping it simple is always a great choice.

    I actually like the white , I would keep the border and binding white because it would give it a clean , crisp look. I like the blue and white fabrics anytime and I wonder if a dark border would take away from the beauty and simplicity of the blocks. Perfect the way it is, great job!

    I would use two rows of binding. A dark teal for the edge and one of your fabrics for the inner binding. It looks lovely!

    I would put one more row at the top then a light color border maybe 3" and bind it in teal. Have you tried turning your center blocks sideways? I can't tell if they are sewed to plain white squares yet, if they are don't take them apart! But your quilt is lovely as is. I love 2 color quilts. So fresh looking.

    it is beautiful. and any way you finish it will look great! I would probably go with a teal binding but white would look just as good!
