Beautiful quilt Pam. I vote using that darker pink as a 1- 1 1/2" border. The stripe is beautiful on there too!!!

This is another beautiful quilt! The most feminine one I've seen from you, and I've liked all of them :D

I like the small inner border. Maybe even smaller - or even a flange or faux piping. Just a bit of an accent before you put that gorgeous stripe on. Then I'd use the same fabric as binding, if you have enough.

Does the block have a name?

Mousie

do you have enough of the dark to do both? It looks pretty in both pictures.

What pretty colors. Like your layout so far. Cool quilt.

Marcia

This is what I was thinking too--that's why I asked what fabric you would use for the binding if you used the dark for inner border. It is such a wonderful accent fabric for your quilt.

No, I don't have enough to do both with that fabric. I have 1/2 yd each of the blue and green stripe. Those came in a grab bag I bought at Fat Quarter Shop and they are part of the collection.

For that matter I could use strips from the other jelly roll I have of the collection and I pulled out the solid and the stripe of each color; pink, blue, and green and didn't use them in this quilt. I could cut them in half to 20" or even 10" strips each and piece them together for the binding.

I have the dark border sewn on, I agree that it looks best next to the body.

It is feminine for me as I usually go for darker or muted colors. I do like them though.

I don't know if the block has a name. It's from the book Jelly Roll Quilts and they call it Spiral Strips.

It wasn't difficult to do at all and with the pre-cut strips everything went together just right with hardly any fuss.

Very pretty Pam. Springy!

I didn't get a chance to vote on where to put that little border, but it sure is beautiful between the quilt and the border.
I read the whole thread just now, since I was away all day.
the quilt is awesome.
I don't usually like the floral thing, but your quilt is just very pretty.
Now! Admit it! You are getting a kickback from all of the Jelly Roll books you sell by such grand advertising, right? :lol:

Looks great, Pam, I can't wait to see it finished. I'm working on a quilt out of the Jelly Roll Quilts book as well - I'm doing the Garden Trellis pattern using an "Aviary" JR. The pattern is similar to yours except the strip blocks are on a diagonal instead of vertical/horizontal.
