Need help with my quilt
Ok. I posted a picture of my curved log cabin quilt that I was making. I got it all sewn together and it doesn't fit the top of the bed. It hangs over the sides a bit, but it doesn't fill the top of the bed. Therefore, I added a border of about 11 inches to each side in a royal blue and at the top I have to add more than that to get it to fit, and the bottom too. It doesn't look right. All that solid blue on the sides. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't have any additional fabric that I used in the quilt to make a small border then the blue border. I hope this makes sense. It is already 100 blocks total without adding the borders. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you. DebbieS

Well, I don't know how to applique and I really want to have the quilt on my bed soon. Any other ideas? I have some two inch strips left over of the various colors, but I don't know what to do.

I had to go back and look at your quilt to get my herrings. Gorgeous quilt. You did a wonderful job on the blocks. You want something to frame your blocks and stop the eyes. Put a 2" border of the white, followed by 4" of a light blue and finish with 6" of the royal blue. You will be happy with this.

I like the scalloped edge idea. A small floral print in the same shades might look good, or how about a piano key border something like this.
