Nice job! Use red and white for the borders...as many as you need to add to make it the size you want!

ditto....love this idea...would look really nice with that red around it.

Second ditto on this comment. I think I would try to find some snowflake fabric for the white border. Love the reindeer fabric!!! Love your quilt. Nice job.

I agree that you can make it bigger with a border. You might want to try sewing 5 or 6 different strips of fabric, 2 inche wide strips together and then cut across and add them as the border. i hope i explained this well enough for you.

Pull the tan (or gray-not sure what the light color is), red and white from your original fabrics for narrow borders on the sides with wider borders on top and bottom. It would enlarge your quilt and accent your rail fence. Great choice of fabrics. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe I will make it into a double then instead of a queen. Maybe 86" by 86". Maybe I should do it as a duvet cover too?

I am trying to find reindeer fleece for the backing?

YOU DID A VERY NICE JOB. I AGREE ADDING A RED BORDER TO OUTLINE THE QUILT THEN GREY AND FINISH WITH A 5" WHITE. THE BLACK FLANGE WOULD GIVE IT A PUNCH ALSO
