As part of the pattern (It was a fat quarter pattern) you cut a strip off each fat quarter (16 of them) to use for a scrappy binding, I am wondering whether to use these with the few scraps I have left to do another border on the big block, then use a plain fabric for the binding. My problem is shortage of fabrics, I have to be frugal and make do and mend, the navy blue polka dot on the wonky loggy wotsit was given to me last week, and was a double bed sized platform base valance, a good quality although a cot/poly blend, there will be enough for the back too!! :-

I like your border idea for the Big Block. Like everyone else, I'm impressed with BOTH quilts!

The free pattern came from Quiltmaker.com, it's called Afternoon Tea and takes 16 fat quarters if anyone wants to do it :D

ok, sounds like two quilts it is...now are you asking us, what we think you should do about border, OR, what we would do, lol?
I would put some applique on big block outer border. The scrappy log wosit, is great as is, needing it's quilting of course. :D
P.S. don't mind me, I would applique the world, if it would hold still. :wink:
