I agree with Bibi.. " . This is such a beautiful quilt. You can leave it as is, or add the scallops as you and others have suggested. It all depends how much work you still want to put into the project." Good luck & let us know what you decide.

OOOH scallops would seem like waves. Too cute for words.

Use some of all your shell colors and make a custom binding. I think it would be lovely and you could use up your left over material without buying or cutting into something new. It is a wonderful quilt top.

Beautiful quilt!! I bought that pattern to make for my Grandson. He turned one today and I have not started it yet!

I have no advice, but must say the quilt is beautiful.

Scallops would compliment the wave motion you've created diagonally while adding a hint of femininity. I think they would enhance the finished quilt. Love your composition and fabric choices. This is a fun, unique quilt.

I think either way will be pretty. Mostly I just want to congratulate you on making such a cute quilt. And I'm sure the granddaughter will love it.

If it was my quilt and if I was confident of my skills for making scallops (not in my case!), I'd do them. It's awfully cute, and will be fine either way.
