You have been given some great ideas here and I am sure whatever you choose to do will finish it off beautifully! Your quilt is amazing! Thank you for sharing.

You could add just enough of fabric all around to allow your binding to cover it....then both rows of checkerboard would be visible.

I think it will be fine...you will take 1/4" and it won't detract from the checkerboard. BTW...it's beautiful!!!

Sharon- that is a good idea...and I thought of that last night when I couldn't sleep. Debbie Mumm uses that technique in her early books when she used checkboard borders! Lots of great input- thanks everyone! Now I just have to decide :roll: That will be tough!
