    If it were mine, I would make it the size I wanted with the blocks and just bind in in the blue - maybe a slightly wider binding like a half inch. Second choice would be the Moda one recommended by stillcock with white as the solid.

    I like the blue but I would first put a 2 inch border of white and a wider border of the blue. Lovely quilt. I love scrappies.

    All of the above are good ideas, and I think any would look good. Just one more idea; if you are tired of working on it, as I think everyone gets sometimes, make Prairie Points of the different fabrics. That would be easy, not greatly time consuming, colorful and you would make them while you watch tv or whatever. Good luck! Mariah.

    As I always ask-What color do you want the quilt be? I like the blue but that will make it a "blue" quilt. the green a "green quilt etc. I also like the idea of makeing the quilt the size you want with the blocks and have no border and bind in blue.

    If you have the squares, you could do a solid light, pieced, then the blue. Nice uilt

    Really love those scrappy quilts!
    I like this idea except I'd put the narrow green on both sides of the row using the scrappy squares, then do the darker blue as the outer border.
