So pleased you stuck with it!! It looks fantastic!! I agree with SewMomma66 NO FLOWERS! I would go with checks! IMHO!!

[/quote]The other that I could consider is a TINY blue/dark blue check. (And is one of the materials in the quilt already). I wouldn't usually think about using a check for the border...but since it's 2 shades of dk. blue and it's so very tiny...I think it would still be okay. Any thoughts?[/quote]

I'm trying to pick out the fabric you mean by looking at your quilt. Can you post a picture showing the one you mean?

I have "just" enough blue paisley for the border but I'm not sure it's the way to go.

The blue paisley is the way to go; look at your picture, the blue and white makes all the other blocks pop. Great choice, don't change it.

Gee...you can't see the details of the check...

That is a lovely quilt! It's cozy country! I like darker blue for a border... but I know you don't have any left. Solids are inexpensive! :wink:

It is hard to see the checks but I like this one best of the ones shown & would go with it. But I think I'd bind it with the red you used for the small squares.

SewMomma66 03-21-2011 09:28 AM

I think its perfect!

yep, I would go with the checks, and I really like the idea of the red binding.
