I made this for my mom last year just before she was having chemo treatments. Well all she "wanted" was the squares sewn together and the ugly backing put on it. I do not like this quilt it is so off and she lovenly calls it "What did I do to deserve this?!?" Or "In the beginning" I would love to redo this quilt what would you suggest. I will add some more fabric to it make it a little bigger and will add some minky fabric to the back she says it is too cold. So what pattern would you use??

I think it is absolutely GORGEOUS just like it is.

I would just add some borders if you want it bigger and quilt it. I love the bright colors!

I'm seeing some black sashing & borders to make all of those gorgeous colors pop! Maybe black minkee or fleece for the backing?

I like the black sashing how big would you make the sashing?? Jade

What size is it now? What finished size are the squares? How many rows of each?
I guess too it would depend on what size you want the finished quilt to be? Do you have anything in mind? Let me know & I'll play with it & see what I can sketch out for you. If you want that is :)

it's a lap quilt right now not that big maybe 60x60 would be great!

Maybe just applique the quilt to a bigger piece of Minky? Center the quilt in the center of it and let the minky be the borders? :D:D:D

I would just add a 2 1/2 - 3" solid black border, then a "Piano Key" border
of all your scraps, and bind it in black. The colors will really pop!
It is simply gorgeous as it is.....

I agree with everyone. The quilt is very pretty as is. Just add borders to make it bigger. I like QuiltQtrs suggestion.
