Grandson's DP9 I Spy
This is going to be for my youngest grandson's 3rd BD this Summer. I like it overall, but a bit distressed about the borders. DH and I both thought it needed to be a little longer, so I went back and added the last row of green at bottom. I also added the additional two blocks because I thought it helped break up so much green. Now, after looking at the pictures, I don't think so. What I think I am going to have to do is go back and add another row of the sports (I spy) blocks! Uggggggggg
I also think I need to add an inch or two at the top where Sawyer is appliqued in.
It doesn't look quite as bad on the bed, but I hate the way it looks otherwise.
OR.....maybe I just need something entirely different with border? Any ideas? All help appreciated!

LOL and please excuse me for talking to myself, but I just had an idea while looking at the pics. What if I appliqued a football, softball and maybe basketball in the empty green spot? This would really REALLY be a challenge for me as this is my first attempt at applique

How about adding another border? It wouls make it both longer and wider. How would a yellow border look on it or some other color that would make it "pop"? You did a good job, but it needs a little "pop'
Yes, it would look nice if you added some sports in the empty green spot.

Thanks, I may consider another border. For now, I have already decided to rip that bottom off, go ahead and add another I spy row....and go from there. Amazing how looking at a picture helps settle things.
