I just finished this quilt and I'm thinking that the last white border is too narrow. It's finished size will be 2 1/2 which is the size of most of the squares in the blocks. The blocks are 10 inch finished, so I almost made the border 5 inches - but wasn't sure and now I'm not sure if the border is wide enough. So I thought I would ask all of you. Thanks for your help.

I think it's lovely! It showcases those beautiful prairie points!

I agree. It is a beautiful quilt, and the border looks just right.

Oh my. I guess it's just me. When I finish a quilt I always dislike it. I guess that's what happened again. I just thought it wouldn't happen with this one. LOL!! I really appreciate the help - we have great quilters on this board and I knew I could get some good advis.

That's Beautiful Great Job, size looks fine to me, the border fabric will make it pop. :)

An overly fat binding might look terrific on this narrow border. Just my thought!
