Hi, I'm currently stuck on what to do with the borders...although this pattern does not call for a border, I need to make the quilt bigger, so thought I would add :
1rst border blue 2"
2nd border either pinwheel or half square triangle 3.5"
3rd border plain black 5"
blue binding...

Which one do you prefer or do you have another idea for the second border...with all 3 borders, it will measure 72.5 x 80.75" which will be ok for a 2 person couch quilt.
Any suggestions more than welcome and greatly appreciated.

Incase anyone is wondering where the pattern came from, it is from McCall's May 2010 magazine called Paradigm Shift. Let me tell you can anyone say bias bias bias...wow nothing like using almost a bottle of starch....in the magazine they say the blocks are 8 5/8", but when it came time to trim my blocks before sewing them into the quilt top, I was able to trim them to 8 3/4"....

Thanks again for all your inputs....
