I might have used a brighter batik in the border. Bright quilts are so cheerful.

I think it is great, one of the best T-shirt quilts I have seen! The batik adds a nice subtle variation of color to the solids, not too dark to me.

I totally agree with this comment.

Thanks everyone! makes me feel better. I think I will take the suggestions and audition different color, brighter material for the binding

You all are my QFFs :) I saw that on Facebook this morning

Love the quilt, but I agree with Maniac, borders are a little too dark for a girls quilt (IMHO).

I think it frames it up very nicely.

Well my neice has gotten married and some of the tshirts are her now husbands.. so maybe I will think of this one as for her husband :) then make the other one more "girlie"
