Wondering about borders now. I kind of like the look of it on the off-white sofa, so perhaps some off-white? And a dark brown binding? or something else entirely? I'd love any suggestions from you folks, this is such a great creative cauldron!
I don't need it be much larger than it is now, but am perfectly willing to play if I love an idea that requires wide border(s). I have no specific plans for this quilt, it might go on my sofa, bed, or just be following me around the house... :roll: :lol: :D
salmonsweet, my fabric is similar to yours, except that it includes leopards, tigers, and giraffes...but the same color scheme. i've completed sewing my half-hexagons (okay, I'm way behind most of the folks on this thread) and am in the auditioning the layout stage. i made 72 blocks and plan to do some cubes...

Original fabric for OBW, 8" repeat
