Your quilt wall hanging is absolutely lovely. How wide did you cut your borders? Thanks.

The inner gray is 1 1/2" so it finished at 1" and the red is 3 1/2" Not quite sure if I want to bind it in red or the dark navy fabric that is in the block.

Thanks for the border info. I usually bind my quilts in the same fabric as the border unless it is a pieced border so that it doesn't detract from the quilt. Again thanks and have a Merry Christmas!
