    okay here we go, I have finally "finished" piecing the top. now I just need to decided how to finish it. should a put a small boarder on or just quilt and bind. i am at a loss as to what to do. even thinking about changing the binding fabric to a pink. would have to get another pink that would go, but that is okay, need a trip to the fabric shop. hehe :lol: :XD:
    So what do you guys think? white boarder or just bind it? hubby is no help at this point he is clueless with this.

    Can you spot the "mistake" in the quilt with the fabric?

    what do you think?

    I'd go with the white. I think it sets off the quilt better. As for the mistake - I only wish I could make so few!! I only noticed it because you pointed it out.

    Really pretty quilt---very nice colors!

    I would put a white border on it and bind it with the green.

    I like the option with the white, it seems to make a nice frame. I would have never noticed the error if you hadn't mentioned it either

    I would never have noticed the mistake. I would use the green for a border and bind in pink.

    I would do a thin white border, a pink eyelash border, and then the green. or pink eyelash then the green. but that is just my opinion.

    I would do a white border the same size as the current white. Then I would add a a 1/4" or 1/2" of either the floral or the pink then finish with a wider green (if you have enough fabric to do that). I would then bind it in either the pink or the same green so you don't even see the binding.

    I find the best thing to do is put it up on the wall with straight pins - pin in border options and walk by for a few days changing as you go. You will end up with only one obvious solution in the end. The one that finally makes you say "I love that!" That usually comes to me within 24 hours...

    Very Pretty :mrgreen: And it is not a mistake it is a creative change :wink: LOL

    How big do you want it ? I would either border it with white or a pink. The green seems to overwhelm it . Just my opinion
