I have some deep red Kona which I bought for a border. I don't think I really want to put a border on, so I'll probably use it for binding. Anyone else have any other thoughts?

Thanks!

I think that just a single border wouldn't do this quilt justice so unless you want to do more ..binding is the answer :)

I agree! When you say more than a single border, are you thinking of something pieced? I did think about doing a thin red border and then a border with solid red and four patches, then another red border. Any ideas?

Thanks Honchey!

You could go without a border, I've seen that, too & it looked great. Myself, I'd put a 1 inch red sashing all around it, another row of charms, then a 1/2 inch red border or go borderless, which would serve as a pantograph guide when you quilt-the-quilt & do a smaller panto on the red sashing - making the quilt back pop. If you made shams to match they would have pattern continuity with the red sashing pattern repeat. Just my random thoughts, nutty me! Please post when you're done, love to see it finished!

Hi Ronda and everyone. I received my package today. All the PS blocks look so yummy. Thank goodness they are calorie free. Thanks so much for all the fun. I hope to do this again, and I too hope there will be more quilters participate.
Rhonda, I really appreciate you being our hostess.

I also received my package today. It certainly brightened my Monday. They look great. I have already started cutting for the fall swap. I am using left over pieces from a project I am cutting. I love these tiny squares.

I got my squishie yesterday and can't wait to sort them out. Thanks, again, Rhonda for hosting, and to all you swappers for the lovely little squares. I really need to do more with these cuties, but other projects keep interrupting!
