Maybe use the dark fabric for binding too. If you need to add a 2nd border to make the quilt bigger, I would choose one of the green, blue or gold fabrics.
Beautiful quilt. Wonderful example of fabrics making the quilt.

love it ! what pattern did you use? Did you fussy cut your square blocks ? As to you request for borders, I agree with the dark border and then would consider using 4-patches of all of your 9-patch blocks (does that make sense?) for the outermost border and bind in black. But you did marvelously with this quilt - you should make the decision !

What in the world are the plain (not plain at all!) blocks made with? Are those motifs in the batik fabrics? or did you paint them yourself, or applique???

[QUOTE=MYWR;7099342]love it ! what pattern did you use?
I just looked online to see if I could find the pattern that was used in the blue & white quilt I saw at the quilting shop. It's a Laundry Basket quilt pattern called Snow Sparkle. The blocks are done on point so it has a bit of a different look. http://www.abbimays.com/Quilt-Patter...LE_p_2222.html
