I have the blocks all stitched together now, so am ready to start on the inner and outer border.

The green will then be used for the binding as well.

I need opinions on the borders. I had initially planned to do a 2" inner green border and a 4" outer border. But when I layed materials next to the blocks to get a visual on it, the inner border of 2" looks too big to me (see pic below). So I tried it with a 1" inner border a 5" outer border and it looks better to me. The binding on either one would be about 1/2". What do y'all think? Which one do you like better, the 2" / 4" combination or the 1" / 5" combination?

I prefer the 1/5 combo - then again I am new to this game LOL.

Whichever YOU find pleasing on the eye you should go with I think :wink:
