I showed this awhile back, I'm happy I found something to complement what my stash gave me to work with. Do you think I should add another one? I'm feeling stuck as to what color/print type etc. would work or if I should just finish off as is? I think I might like to make the quilt a little larger, but not sure how to proceed. Should I just leave it alone? Any suggestions geared to my beginner abilities would be great!

If you want it bigger, another border in a color the compliments the prints could look nice. Many quilts have more than one border. Just look at it for awhile and the quilt will decide for you.

Looks great! What if you added a wider border of the white-on-white fabric, same width as the squares, and then the floral for binding?

I really don't have a different suggestion, but I did need to tell you I absolutely love the colors! :D

Love the colors. White on white border would be nice, but I'm afraid of it getting dirty alot (in my house it would). Do you have any more floral fabric? That's what I would do.

I think it looks great as is, but you could add another border. They white suggestion sound great to me.
