Default Fairy Quilt finished ans bound

The hardest part of this whole exercise was to find pictures of fairies that didn't look like Barbie dolls or worse. I was very disappointed in Disney so I turned to the works of Beardsley and Rackham for what I considered more androgynous and innocent.
After looking at all your helpful comments I reject the paisley border because I wanted to quilt some additional fairies and vines into the borders. They would not be visible on the paisley. The off black material was best. I used a pale moss green for the quilting. I included a few pics of the fairies.
Thanks so much for your input ladies!
