It's very beutiful. I'm rather with Shaw on this one, a lighter border first then some more flying geese and then a darker border. I like the scalloped idea too.

Love the colors and the blocks.

What about making more flying geese strips and boxing each square -
the corner posts could perhaps be one of the dark colors.

But maybe you are tired of making flying geese?

You might pick up a few blocks for another row that way.

I think you could get by with just a wide border of the cream (with none to lots of applique) and a dark binding.

Oooh, that's so pretty! You could pick up any of the colors for your borders. Light/dark/combo, etc. That should solve the drop problem. I think it deserves to be on your bed. Such a beauty.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to unwrap all the fabrics I used...I'm not sure I have very much of any of the colors left over after all those FG...I used tons of FQ's and I'll have to measure what I have of the floral.

It seems that there are more who think a gold border needs to be next, so I'll check that. I have plenty of the background and I am pretty sure I have enough of the burgundy to do a narrow border..if not..I know where I can order it. I'll play with it on EQ and then try to figure out how to post the pic of that. Thanks again!

that is so pretty. i'm sure whatever you come up with will be perfect :D

Beautiful. Just love it.

It's beautiful. I don't have a gotcha idea for the drop, but I'll have one tonight in my dreams!

Just had a thought - if you like to quilt, you could do a wide border of the background color with lots of quilting mirroring the designs of the blocks - with the burgundy as the final binding. But if you prefer applique to quilting, that would be gorgeous on the background drop - again with the burgundy as the final binding.

Well, I'm happy to take "dream" solutions! I hadn't really considered doing just a wide border with just quilting and not the applique..hmmm, I'll have to think on that, thanks!

sandpat that is a very beautiful quilt. I couldn't even begin to give advice on it. you have put in some long hours and hard work it is just gorgeous.
