    Default How to finish?

    I've hit a mental block with this one. How would you finish it? Suggestions needed! :-

    Whatever strips you have the most of maybe border it with that/those. Like the strips in your smaller blocks of primary colors. Or do 2 at the top and bottom then 2 different at the sides

    Sorry, I should have said they are made from part of a Jelly Roll and I don't have any of the ones used here left to use.

    I might look for a large print in those colours on a white background and add a large border.

    Would this work or is it too small a print? Or maybe a stripe going across not up and down?

    I like that for a border. But, I would put a very narrow darker border first. Maybe the blue or green

    Thanks.... I was thinking that but it just didn't click so I thought maybe I wasn't looking at it right. Green is my choice. So many people I run into think if it's blue or pink it must be for a kid. :-(

    Seems that your cat really likes the quilt top. I usually stitch in the ditch.

    Yes, she didn't even let me straighten it out. :-) I'll tie it. I like the puffy look the best.

    I don't have any of the jelly roll left. :-( It was only a partial roll.
