I really like the picture #4 that DogHouse did. Perfect.

I agree with quilt E , finishing out the chains on white would frame it out so nicely. Then If you wanted, perhaps a nice but fairly narrow, band of whichever is your favorite color from the quilt.

OMG, this is so stunning. I am very new to QB. Where is this pattern? I have to make one! :o Simply beautiful. I agree with the others that a white boarder, keeping it clean and simple would be lovely. Again, where is this pattern???

I vote for a white border 1/3 the size of the block. If you wanted to make your colors pop beyond that, then a binding of all the fabrics together. If I did do that binding, I might make the border 1/2 the size of the block. The rule of thumb is that your border width should be able to be divided evenly into your block size.

Nice job! (And a lot of work!)

Now that I see what dunster did, that is my first choice. Nice of you to make all that effort, dunster!

Okay I had laundry to do, bathrooms to clean, and groceries to shop for, so I drew this up instead. It was way more fun! Dunster's version and this one are my two favorites.

I keep coming back to this thread because I absolutely love this quilt. One of these days I will get to one.

You don't need a pattern, the quilt is simply made of two alternating traditional blocks, the double 9-patch block and the shoo fly block.

Double 9-patch: http://www.quilterscache.com/D/Doubl...atchBlock.html
Shoo fly: http://www.quilterscache.com/S/ShooFlyBlock.html

The difficulty lies in the amount of patience it takes to piece so many tiny blocks! Kudos to the O.P. for her beautiful creation!
