All but the borders
#1
This quilt top is made from all my DD's old uniform tops. There were two of them I had made, so I still have some of the fabric left. The tops I used most of, even piecing smaller pieces together to have enough. At the moment it is 75" square. My DD has a queen size water bed so I know I will have to make it bigger.
The pieces I have left, are one light and one of the bluegreen with the flowers on it. I think I might have to add another border of fabric not in the top. What would you do? I am open to suggestions.
This will be my first attempt at feathers for the quilting. I think they would go well with this design.

I would put a solid dark color thin border that would set it off then put borders to make it larger using some of the colors used in the quilt until it gets to the size you want. Just my opinion. It is beautiful so far.

Looks beautiful.
I would use the 2 border approach as well. A narrow border in the blues, then if you could find a fabric that has a lot of the colors from inside the quilt, make a wider border from that. I like to bind darker than my outside border if it is a lighter color and so maybe you can bind in a pink, or blue or something a little darker that is multicolored.
