I can deceide how to finish this quilt, it's for a friends baby due in a few weeks.

A-should I just quilt it and use the red for the binding

B-Do a thin red border then a 1 block border or the monkey faces

Thanks

I would put a red border on it, quilt & add red binding. The monkey faces detract from pinwheels IMHO. Perhaps you could incorporate that fabric on the backing.

It's a baby quilt. They're supposed to be fun.

It needs that punch of color from the monkey faces, assuming all the blocks are same color as the pinwheel shown.

But I would switch the red and monkey faces, and then bind in the red. That way, you'd get all that color framed inside the border.

Lucky baby!

Yes all the blocks are the same

I agree the monkey faces detracts in the way they are- too busy and bright - but you could cut them up into a four squares and space them with the lighter fabric around a red boarder to tie them together more. Then bind it with the red.

I agree with this opinion

red border and red binding would be my choice

I like it without the monkey faces - the yellow detracts from the center since there is no yellow in there. I would use it for the back.

It will be just too cute however way you decide to finish it.
