Trene-
It is the nature of comic book art to be overly busy. I would tone it down with black sashing, and a black border with
perhaps individual super heroes, such as the large batman and the flying superman, fussy-cut and fused on to a black background at the corners. I have also used small figures such as those in your backing fabric, cut out with four snowball
block corners in the colors in that super hero as a border. Since that can get VERY time consuming, I would intersperse
a plain black square between each one to cut the # needed in half. I assume that you are making a queen quilt so
borders would help expand the quilt- a narrow black innermost border, a superhero snowball middle border and an
outer black border. I personally think your quilt looks great, but to each his or her own...-Judy Mannix
