    At present it measures 60x 62 I'm going to add another 2.5 inch boarder in the the dark blue, black. that should make it 64.5 x 66.5 almost queen size. I don't know what I'll back it with since I havent thought that far in advance, plus the only bulk fabric I have is muslin. I guess I'll have to wait for a sale or something to finish it - aka quilt it.

    I would put one of the two darker blue fabrics as the grand finale border. It will keep the eyes within the dark border to where your gorgeous inner materials/pattern is. Can't see any ruin of fabric here.....looks awesome.

    I agree - yellow binding would really set it off. I don't think it needs another binding. It's a beautiful quilt - I love blue and yellow. Just redid my kitchen in blue and yellow - old timey, I know but I love it.

    I love it as it is. What is an OBW? Whatever it is, it looks great. I am new today to this site, and to quilting.

    Also, the quilts along the side of the page are to drool over. Carolyn
