I would also consider setting them on point, so the baskets are going all in one direction. Lovely work!!

I was thinking the same thing....setting the blocks on point. also if brown is a bit to dark maybe a sage green border???beautiful blocks

Beautiful!! I love the on point and sage green suggestion.

If sashing would make it too big, you might make 2 little quilts or wall hangings out of them... 6 is a nice number... and the sashing would really set each block off so well... using a soft color for the sashing..? Just a thought...

The pink binding would probably be enough to frame the blocks. Love the idea of feather stitching the seams.

Beautiful !!!! My sugestion is---if you like the size it is now,,,why not use one of your fancy machine stitches to stitch the ellusion of a border around each block.. your seam allowence is going to show through so do your fancy stitch over that so as to take the eye from it...It is sooo delicate looking,I'd keep with that look......I love it !!!!! let us know and see what you decide...

Beautiful work. I have to agree that I would like them better on point. Whatever YOU decide, please post a picture.

and like the size but wondered if a simple pink binding would work instead of any boarders?? I like size and really not sure I want it much bigger..I will do a feather stitch on all the seams...not sure if it will b e pink or green yet...
well anyway...what do you think about border or no border??
