Hi every one
I am working on this scrappy quilt and this is what i have so far.
I want to make it bigger and not sure what to add to it .
Was looking at maybe flying geese or a chain link block .
But I keep thinking because i have the small blocks on the out side now it .
Could be to busy .
Any ideas
Thanks

Not certain how much bigger you would like to make it. I would add an outside thin strip of the white to "border" the squares on point. Then I would repeat a 4 patch element from the inside of the quilt. Or even a complete outside row or the blocks all the way around. There are lots of options with scrappies. Love the colors.

How much wider do you want it? A suggestion is another border, maybe white, and then use a scrappy binding. but if you want it wider than that, I like toverly's suggestion

Think smaller blocks like the inside blocks ?

This looks like a happy quilt. I agree with toverly that it needs another thin white border like your inside border, then I can see a border of scrappy, whimsical flying geese with the bottoms of the geese on a horizontal line, but vary the angles and shapes of the triangle sides. Would love to see a picture of the finished quilt.

Maybe go with more borders but not pieced ones. Or perhaps the next border a border that "reads" solid & the next one a pieced border. Also, remember that the borders don't have to be the same width on both sides. So if you want the quilt longer but not wider, just put a wider border on the top & bottom to make it longer.
I really like pieced borders & here's a site that shows a few for some ideas that might help you.

That is really really pretty!! I'd go with another mini of white first...then audition different pieced borders... If you are feeling adventurous, you could do a wide white border and applique floral's or .....different size circles in contrast to the squares. I'm an appliquér so that is what I would probably do... It's gonna rock regardless of what you do...

Linear borders of marbled fabric. Pink, purple, turquoise or whatever color combo suits you. Bind it in the third color.

Piano keys.

That was my thought, a white border followed by colored piano keys. The colored piano keys would function like a wide colored border.
