Wedding Quilt --"Sidewalks around the blocks"
#92
I think the sidewalks give it a lovely, lacey look. I love the colors. It's a beautiful quilt. If it would still be large enough, I would eliminate the light border. If you need to make it bigger, you could decrease the size of the light border and add a darker border to it.
Thanks to everyone for your lovely comments. I really am happy with how it turned out, in spite of the tears and ripping that were a part of making it happen!

Love, love your top....it looks fantastic... I like the light border but I personally think it needs a dark for binding to finish...
Could you share the name of the pattern... looked and can't find on web...

Very pretty! I think I'd have added a narrow black border before adding the lighter border, but, as Peggy suggested, it would make a nice area for the LAQ to do something special, so maybe bind it in black to pick up the black in the background fabric?

I agree with you. This quilt really demonstrates how the placement of colors can totally change the end result of a block. I haven't made a "Thinking Outside the Box", but looks like this one is moving up higher on my Bucket list.
