I like it with the blue and then the paisley. Your quilt is very pretty.

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.

You did just fine! It helps newcomers find their way around if we tell the pattern and where to find it along with the picture, but it isn't a rule, it is just helpful <wave>

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.

Same here. As for the quilting, I'd consider sending it out if you're uncomfortable with your own FMQ. But I'll bet you're better than you think.

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.

Definitely needs some blue between the green and the final border. WOW! this quilt is dramatic.

Wow, its really pretty! Love those colors!

I agree. I like it better with the blue/turquoise contrast between the sashing and the paisley fabric. The paisley and sashing sort of run together to my eyes.

I like the blue border with paisley binding. As far as the quilting goes, can you do echo quilting and maybe some grid work using the walking foot?

Very pretty quilt, you did a great job.
