Need your help deciding what to do with the alternate row. I have plenty of the blue floral to put all around it. I have plenty of the off white with fabric snips to go all around it. (Should these be narrower?) But I am out of jelly roll (almost except for more snippets). Any ideas. You've always inspired me before. Thanks!

I like the snippets in photo #1.

Either option will look good. I think I would use the blue for a final border all the way around. Using narrower white strips for the inner border. Just a thought.

i think you sould just add white to the top and bottem. i think that one looks really nice.

I'm not actually in love with the off white with snippets, it's too busy and competes with the ribbon rows. How about a solid white, off white, or green, etc. for a 1.5 inch sashing between rows and as the first border around the whole thing. Then the blue as a larger outside border.

SNIPPETS! I'd go all the way around plus in between as you've all ready done, with these. Then blue border. Looks so cool, plus you can quilt around the shapes, or meander through them or whatever, in the white area. Snippets, snippets, snippets!

I love the blue with it.

I like the braids separated; the snippets or blue-- but narrow I think the snippets not so busy

agree with this

I have to totally agree!!! I think the snippets look really great, different and fun.

How would a narrow boarder of blue between the braids and snippets look, the boarder all in blue

I love that snippets fabric.

I think a narrower snippets sashing between the braids (3"-ish) , with the same size narrow border around the whole thing, finished off with a wider border & binding of the blue floral.

I think you've got enough of the jelly roll in the braids - the top doesn't need anymore of that fabric.

I don't know if you're shooting for a certain size, but I think this would nicely balance the components of quilt, showcasing the braids, instead of competing or overwhelming them.

GREAT choices on the fabrics - they are quite different from the standard choices usually seen. ;-) :thumbup: ;)

I also totally agree, SNIPPETS!

Thank you everyone for your input. This quilt, the braid part, was easy and fun to put together. Trying to figure out the best setting was not so easy; I felt stymied. Anyhow, this is the end result and I am very pleased with it. Thanks for your inspiration and ideas! You never disappoint.

I took it in to the quilter today. I'll show it again when it's finished!

Gorgeous!

Agree on this ....white inner border and the blue for outer. Narrower white between the pieced rows.

Looks great....looking forward to seeing it finished

photo one!
