I like it, it is dark but what's wrong with that? I think it's one of the nicest T shirt quilts I've seen.

How about adding binding with a flange (accent strip) You can google Susies Magic Binding for a photo tutorial or watch the video at this link... http://www.52quilts.com/2015/02/susi...-tutorial.html

I have used this binding method. The binding is done all by machine. I like your dark border. By adding the flange (a tiny strip of color ) beside a dark binding would tie the quilt together. Good luck! Your quilt is lovely!

I would take off the last dark border and use something brighter.

I wouldn't take the borders off. I think it looks great the way it is. I also love the way you shadowed the t shirts. Very nice quilt

I love it. It has a very stylish look, which is hard to achieve with a Tshirt quilt. I may borrow this idea myself. Thanks for sharing with us.

I like it as is. This is the best setting I have seen as a T-shirt quilt!

I like it..makes the quilt pop...good choice for a contrast between the lighter background and dark border...

I think it looks good as is! You did a great job on this quilt and made the "T-shirt" absolutely pop!

copycat - thanks for the flange binding tip. I will see if I feel like I can accomplish that. I love trying new things
