Great D4P! If you want it a little bigger than add the white border. Cute polka dot fabrics.

Do you want to make it bigger? A narrow white border then another border of one the colors in the quilt would look nice. What color are you using for the binding? Is that a disappearing 4 patch with sashing? I really like it! Looks fresh and crisp.

Yes , it is D4P anbd I might have enough of the red or white to do the binding with, but that was the end of the purple pretty much..have another to make with green and yellow.......thank you

Thank you Tartan...I am thinking a white border as well...just wished I had bought more of the fabric when I was in Lethbridge , Alberta, but then didn't know what I was going to make...!!
