I need some creative ideas!
Here's the deal. I am making a double hourglass quilt with four inch blocks. The blocks are with a black/white fabric and scrap. I have tons of scrap, but ran out of the black/white fabric. The point of this quilt was to use what I have, so I realy don't want to buy any more yardage of this base fabric.
I have enough of the base fabric for 300 4-in blocks (about 100 are finished). If I did the math right, with a 1/4 seam allowance, it comes to 52.5X70 inches.
That's fine for a lap quilt, but I really want this to be a twin quilt.
Do I add a big boarder? Will a large boarder look strange with the tiny blocks? I am using the paper roll idea for my left over scraps. I will have a long 3 - in strip of scraps that could be part of the boarder.
What do you think? suck it up and buy the fabric, make a big boarder, use another fabric from my stash and have some blocks with a different "base" fabric?

Help! and thanks
