    Great suggestions so far and it is beautiful. You could also go witha "braided" border as another option.

    Love your quilt!! Sorry I can't suggest anything better than what others have already suggested. I'm sure it will be beautiful when done.

    I notice you live in China??! Not to hijack this thread but I'm curious about the availability of fabric in your area. I know a lot of fabric comes from China. Is it easy for you to find what you want? Variety available? How do prices compare?

    Also, are those three kitties in your avatar? Are they with you in China? Did you adopt them there or did they come with you?

    Quilting in other countries fascinate me, as do the quilters themselves. This Board is wonderful, isn't it?!

    I think that a narrow border with a flying geese border added would look nice on this quilt.

    I agree with a flying geese border first and then maybe an on-point HST with a small plain border between the two and for the last border.

    Very nice pinwheel quilt. I agree, I think a flying geese border would look great.

    That's what I was thinking. Since flying geese are a similar shape, they would blend well. And they will definitely add to the size of the quilt, especially if you can offset them.
