Your quilt is just darling, they will love it!

Very nice quilt. I think it is beautiful just the way it is.

Bahaha! When I first read this, I thought, uh, oh, another koi pond where the egrets are getting the fish! Then I remembered that isn't about quilting, so it would be moved, so I clicked to see what kind of koi pond problem you were having. And I agree with everyone else, no problem here. I can see what you mean, I think we are used to more things going on and not such large empty spaces (in the border.) But, I agree that when it is quilted, the quilting stitches will take care of it.

Just have to say that your quilt is fabulous the way it is. Your animals are so true to life. The focus of the quilt should stay on your great appliques, so I vote to not add a thing but the quilting design.

I agree with Tartan. I would add a border but that's me. Your quilt is adorable!

Love your quilt. Sometimes you can put too much and I think quilting a few butterflies in the border would be enough. Just my thoughts.

We're in the mountains. The LQS is Bear Paw. The pattern had bears and fishes. Love yours.

We're in the mountains. The LQS is Bear Paw. The pattern had bears and fishes. Love yours. I would have liked acouple fish behind the bars.

I love the corgi coming to the rescue! Second the idea of water lilies and dragonflies.

I think I would leave it alone and let the quilting give it the finishing touches. But if you must...no butterflies but I like the idea of paw prints or dragonflies.
