I don't know about the borders. That's an area that I'm never sure about. You did a great job on finishing the squares. I don't know. It's almost screaming for just a nice binding. What do you think? Perhaps that dark blue solid.

Here is another quilt I found in a Thrift Store a few years back. I don't think I paid over $8 for it. My son and his wife are having a baby girl in May. I am going to give this to my first granddaughter. My first grandchild is a boy...just didn't feel it was appropriate for him. Wish I could say I made this because I think it is very pretty and it is the style of something I would do. (grin)
