I love it, you have done a great job. If you are looking to add anything, I agree with the others, a thin yellow boarder.

I really like the white inner border, it gives the block pannel a look of stained glass to me. You have done a great choice of the other colors, I think you will do well choosing a border color yourself. Its going to be a great quilt.

It looks very pretty.

I love what you did with this. I think it looks fine the way it is.

blhaines 05-08-2011 07:40 AM

I like it!

MamaBear61 05-08-2011 07:47 AM

It is turning out beautifully.

munchkinmama 05-08-2011 08:45 AM

I really love your quilt - definitely not a waste.

me also

Really like it except for the white border---why not change it to the yellow fabric??? Then it would be balanced because there doesn't seem to be any white fabric anywhere else in the quilt.
Good luck, Kutnso

I really like the colors....

jamannix 05-08-2011 10:33 AM

It looks good to me as is - but if you want to make it slightly larger then I would suggest a dark blue border. - Judy

NEVER DID SEE A PATTERN NAME. WILL YOU SHARE? Oh, and I would use a yellow border. Gorgeous quilt in the making!

Ziva 05-08-2011 11:07 AM

Looks good to me!!

Looks Great!I really like this. What pattern did you use? - (kimscruzer)

There isn't a pattern name - this was all to fix an oops that I tried to do with a OBW. Since I had started with the green butterflies, I combined all of my butterfly fabrics and still made hexes with them all, trying not to get the same fabric in each hex. All but 1 made it. lol Can you find it? The green border is also done with the extra triangles that I had already cut. Sewed them into strips and then added them as a boarder. There is white in the daisy fabic and the yellow fabric that is why I did a small boarder in the white. I think I'll see if I've got enough fabric to do a dark boarder and then bind it with the yellow. Thanks everyone for your input.

looks great...no need of another border...;-)

No and i really looked, so I really would not worry about it. :lol: :lol:

deanna.r 05-08-2011 11:50 AM

Looks gorgeous. I wouldn't do another border, but how about a sliver of yellow with the binding ie. using the faux piping machine binding method. http://tlcstitches.blogspot.com/2010...-tutorial.html

Thanks for the link to this tutorial. I'm saving it for future reference.

Also, I love the quilt. You couldn't have done something nicer if you had planned to do it this way from the start.

red-warrior 05-08-2011 12:06 PM

Looks beautiful to me!

JeanDal 05-08-2011 12:07 PM

I like as is.

Liz aka Helen 05-08-2011 12:15 PM

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.

Ruby the Quilter 05-08-2011 12:32 PM

I agree use yellow binding.

MaggieMeg 05-08-2011 12:39 PM

What lovely soft colors!

Snorky Lvs2Quilt 05-08-2011 12:40 PM

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.

QuiltE 05-08-2011 12:56 PM

It's turned out lovely!!!
Aren't you glad your OBW didn't turn out ... and now you are well prepared to do the OBW!!

bearisgray 05-08-2011 01:00 PM

That is nice - good save!

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

LAB55 05-08-2011 01:39 PM

Beautiful !! :-D

glenda5253 05-08-2011 02:29 PM

Had to go back and refresh my memory on the process but it has turned out fantastic. Good job! :thumbup:

TacoMama 05-08-2011 02:30 PM

Very pretty. I would put a small yellow border on it and/or bind it with yellow.

clhornak 05-08-2011 03:15 PM

I think all it needs is a binding. I agree that yellow would be very pretty!

pretty

EdieClay 05-08-2011 03:39 PM

Your quilt looks beautiful. I like the idea of adding either a yellow border or yellow binding. You sure didn't "ruin a yard of fabric," instead you made a piece of art!

debbieoh 05-08-2011 03:41 PM

Looks beautiful

ndgirl 05-08-2011 03:46 PM

I think it is beautiful without the added border. Maybe bind it in yellow. That would be enough. Just my 2 cents worth........

Sandra in Minnesota 05-08-2011 05:17 PM

Pretty colors together. Time to bind it in yellow.

Retired RN 05-08-2011 06:11 PM

nabobw: Wow. Please tell me about your photo on the side of this page. Carolyn
