    Nice layout of the blocks. Border or no border it will look good.

    Did you start at the middle and work out when designing or just twist and turn each block and sew in rows?

    Sashing or border? There is a difference. If you are wanting to make it bigger then go with a border of dark blue. No border then binding in dark blue would look good.

    I vote no border unless you want to increase size.

    My vote is for a border to frame your work of art!

    Yes busy fingers that's what I did. I layed them out starting in the middle. Love I spy's and I say someone's layout simular to this on a quilt she made. So it made me think verse's using them just as pinwheels.

    That would be my vote also, nice quilt.

    I would vote for a border or a very dark binding. A quilt without a border or an obvious edge looks like a picture without a frame to me.

    I love this, where can I find this pattern? I think I could use a jelly roll that I have to make it.

    Your quilt is beautiful, and I would also use a dark binding, as it acts as a frame.
