I've spent a lot of time on these paper pieced blocks. I love 'em - but now I have to finish it. Will this fabric work as a border or am I gonna have to do more wonky stuff to finish it off? Your opinion?

It looks a bit too dull for me. Needs something a bit more brighter as it is much softer than the yellows you have used.
The blocks look great. :thumbup:

On my screen, the border looks kind of muted. It might be my monitor, but IMHO, Something with circles, spirals or wavy shapes would look good with those great blocks.

Sashings... meaning where the white is? I'd make them all different colors from the blocks... but not put any color next to the block that has that color and change the corner stones to differnet colors too..
try it might like it/??//

The blocks do look great, bright and happy, the border fabric puts me to sleep

Agreed. I know it won't work - much as it would cut down the time I have to invest. I guess I'm just looking for someone to say - yeah - sure - Go for it! And I know I won't. I'm perfectly open to other suggestions!

Something a little brighter,so we aren't drawn to just that:)

If you could find a brght multicolor print that picks up the colors of the blocks and cornerstones it would be spectacular.

I agree, these great blocks deserve a better fabric. Yippee, an excuse to go fabric shopping!

Just take one of those bright oranges you used in the blocks and put it in the border between the two blues you have and you should be ok with a great looking great.
