about to put a plain dark blue border around this quilt and thinking about those empty white spaces. Cannot decide on what to fill them with anyone got any thoughts?

Your quilt top is very pretty with your blue & yellow colors. As I look at it, I am wondering if you have an embroidery machine & could embroider a pretty flower of some kind on the white areas? Or maybe you could add a cluster of Yo-Yo's above the fans. Just a thought on my part. Good Luck deciding on what you will do!!
:D :D :D :D

Thanks Sula. Machine is not an embroidery type, however I am more than happy to get to it with hand sewing, so I will see what templates for flowers I can lay my mitts on. I appreciate your suggestions.

Why fill the spaces? Its beautiful as is and the blues pop.

I think it looks beautiful just as it is. When it is time to quilt it those spaces will be a great space to add texture.

I would add yellow in the border possibly:thumbup:

I'm another one who votes for nothing but some fancy quilting in those white spaces. Also, did you mean binding or border in blue? Dark binding would look very nice but if you mean borders I would put a narrow yellow, a narrow blue and a wide white, followed by blue binding. Just my thought on it.

I say it's a great area to show off your quilting. Beautiful quilt as well.

I wouldn't add anything except quilting in those spaces. That pattern looks awesome with beautiful quilting in the white spaces. Your quilt is very pretty.
