I finally finished the top for my Grandbaby's Quilt!
#1
I am so excited! I just completed the top for my first grandchilds quilt- I will start machine quilting it tomorrow. I would love some input on what everyone thinks about the binding....the checkerboard borders are 2" wide finished size. Even with a narrow binding, I am a bit worried that the binding will really spoil the checkerboard effect of the border. I wish I had thought of this sooner....any suggestions? :?:

BEAUTIFUL QUILT!
Just bind it with the same light fabric you've used to "frame" each of the blocks. As long as the finished width of the binding isn't much larger than that of the frames, it'll look totally appropriate.

I'm the color lover! I think a narrow binding in any of the pastels you've used will make a nice frame for your darling quilt. White will wash it out too much and with so many white squares in the checkerboard, it will visually bleed into the binding too much. Just my opinion.
