I am having lots of fun practicing FMQ and this quilt for my DD is a perfect one to practice on. The wavy (inside) border I did 2 sides of following the wavy lines with FMQ and 2 sides with continuing spirals. The spirals were lots of fun. I'm at a loss for how to quilt the outside border though. It is a busy fabric. I've tried feathers but wasn't sure it was the best fit for the fabric pattern. I'd love some suggestions. Pretty please :)

Love those spirals on the pink, you are good.
Would love to see the whole quilt, love the colors. I think FMQ would also go on the outside border, anything that keeps the pace of what you have done on the larger quilt part.

So glad I asked here. Some great ideas. Will wait to see if a few more come in before I start tomorrow or Tuesday.
That is my thought too. Nothing is going to show up too well. I've tried on a couple of sandwich squares with left over fabric and so far nothing has looked too good. But... it is a great opportunity to practice my FMQ, so I might just pick a pattern I want to try and practice up the sides. Something loose and flowie and whimsical?
