What a great quilt! Your scalloped edges look great. And I see tiny hints of red or maroon (not sure how accurate my phone screen color is) in the border fabric. I would choose a binding on that color, just my two cents.

Beautiful Teen! Love how you pulled it all together by creating your own design layout, FMQ variations, scalloped border, etc.. As for binding, I think a flange of two low volume contrasting colors would frame this well. I like the idea of burgundy/red inside a neutral like the swirl in your border? Whatever you decide I'm sure it will be great!

Wow Teen, it turned out beautifully. What a family heirloom your Santa quilt will be. You did a fantastic job.

I like how the Santa's are incorporated into different quilt block patterns. Very nice.

This is amazing, Teen! What gorgeous applique work! I love how you set the Santas on top of the neutral shoo-flys. Beautiful quilt
