Your quilt looks great. I love the way you put the tee shirt blocks together. I like the batik inner border, I just don't love it but could live with it. From a distance it does't show up very well. I would audition a different solid color from one of the tee shirts to see if I didn't like it better. If another color does do anything for it, I'd leave it the way it is.

I too think it's perfect the way it is. The dark borders really make the t-shirts the focus and the batik ties all the colors together without distracting from the t-shirts.

Great quilt! I don't think it's too dark at all. I've never done a t-shirt quilt before but admire them all the same. You did a really nice job.

It's absolutely beautiful! A nice bright binding (lime green or turquoise?) Would just finish it off.

I like it. Think you did a wonderful job. Not a big batik fan, but this looks great it grabs all the colors without taking away from the T-shirts. Like I said, I really like it. Your niece will love it.

I would absolutely leave it as it is, it's beautiful. Nicely done.

It's perfect. Wouldn't change a thing. The darker borders define the quilt, and the light gray is light/bright enough to give great contrast and enhance the T shirts.

Binding with a flange
 

You are so very welcome. Binding with a flange adds a pop of color between the binding and the border. See the photos of the gold flange beside the green binding. Let me know if you have any further questions if you try this method. I liked the written tutorial with photos the best. I did not use monofilament thread. I used a gold thread to stitch right beside the flange. Try it on a pot holder first and then you will see how easy it is to do.

copycat - your quilt is great! very bright and cheery great job. The binding is great. I am going to study that video

I love it just the way it is. It couldn't get any better in my opinion.
