Border help and quilting advice...
#12
As I was going through the board, I was sitting here wondering what to do with some fabric that I bought for my father-in-law. Maybe a stack n wack? This is the exact material that I purchased, too funny!! I'm picking up the other greens in it.
I think I would double the size of the blue border, then do the paisley.

I love your border idea. It's perfect. If you are really not wanting to quilt it yourself send it out, but I think you could do a stipple in the solid parts of the squares and it would look great. I bet you could do it.

I have no advice about the quilting ... I can never figure out how I should quilt my own quilts. I like the paisley border with no blue border strip (& with paisley binding). Having said that, it really doesn't matter what I like; you'll figure it out after you study your options a few dozen times ... that's what I have to do quite often and eventually I make a decision that I'm happy with. Most importantly, the quilt top is lovely. I really like it.
