Just finished a UFO and want to make it a bit bigger so it fits on a full sized bed. Have enough of the blue and yellow floral print for borders and binding but it looks kind of busy to go with all the scrappy 9 patch blocks. Do you think of medium blue solid or reads like a solid would look better?

Photo isn't too good, didn't have anyone around to hold it up for me while I took the photo, but you get the idea. May in Jersey

I would use that as the outer border with a skinny yellow inner border. It looks great!

Same here. As long as it has a bit of a break between the floral and the top, it looks great.

I agree, but have you tried it with a solid color?

Another option is to use one of the darker blues from the blocks to make a 2 inch inner border.
