    Need your help deciding what to do with the alternate row. I have plenty of the blue floral to put all around it. I have plenty of the off white with fabric snips to go all around it. (Should these be narrower?) But I am out of jelly roll (almost except for more snippets). Any ideas. You've always inspired me before. Thanks!

    Should I just make more of the off white for top and bottom?

    I have plenty of the blue for borders.

    Should these go outside with narrower ones in the middle?

    Either option will look good. I think I would use the blue for a final border all the way around. Using narrower white strips for the inner border. Just a thought.

    I'm not actually in love with the off white with snippets, it's too busy and competes with the ribbon rows. How about a solid white, off white, or green, etc. for a 1.5 inch sashing between rows and as the first border around the whole thing. Then the blue as a larger outside border.

    SNIPPETS! I'd go all the way around plus in between as you've all ready done, with these. Then blue border. Looks so cool, plus you can quilt around the shapes, or meander through them or whatever, in the white area. Snippets, snippets, snippets!

    I have to totally agree!!! I think the snippets look really great, different and fun.
