Yes, actually that is batting with backing behind, so I will do a small border. Thanks for the idea.

I have done that too. I like it without the borders also.

Ahhhhhhhhh, ready for binding I thought; BUT WAIT, WHERE ARE THE BORDERS???

So this will be QAYG with borders being added separately. Gonna be weird! Lucky its just for me!
Will post when I figure out just how I'm going to do it.

I have done this method to enlarge a quilt, do the flip and stitch deal....you have enough batting around for a narrow border. I'll try and explain....line up border fabric on side RST and stitch, flip them over and press, do the other side and then the top and bottom....I have also done this with a batting layer, backing, batting on back and then border fabric on top, flip open and press...clean as mud huh?

Its OK without borders, but I like it with this one made from the same fabric as the little squares.

The fix

For the folks that like it "without the borders", the white you see is the batting! Pardon the wrinkles in the photo - light at a bad angle. So here it is finished! What fun it was! May have to do a bed size one with all blues. The border and small squares are actually a beautiful dark purple, not navy as it looks here.

Bordered!
