I agree with a small yellow or gold border and then the dark blue. It is a gorgeous quilt!

I don't really like the wizards either. Do you need a border? Couldn't you just bind it as is? It's quite lovely the way it is

Ok just 1 in a 100 of opinions but, my choice would be the darker boarder. I actually like the coloring of the wizards but I'm not a Wizard person. I love love stars, moon and sun fabrics. I have a collection of them myself. But I don't care for Wizards. Something about them to me...I just don't care for. Other than that the blanket is going to be beautiful! I would LOVE one like it just...sans wizards!

I will post pics when it is all finished; will take me a couple days. Have a graduation cake to make for Friday for DGS. Life just always seems to get in the way of our creative processes.

Well thats what I get for commenting without reading it all! Good choice Grann!! Cant wait to see the final results!

Thanks everyone for all your opinions. It is quilted and ready to be bound. As for the wizards, thanks for the opinions on that too. I am not a big wizard fan either, but it is what I have left from another project, and with all the stars, it goes with the theme of the quilt, I think. I am not spending any more money on this quilt. And I think the gold stitched stars are going to be eliminated. They look cute, but are too time consuming to do.

I really like your quilt but do not know what you should do for a border.

I like the wizard fabric it is cute, but I would use the darker blue for the border and leave it at that, she wanted dark and that is what I would do.

If she asked for dark, I'd go with dark blue with the tiny stars.
Lovely work.
