This is what I did, using the scraps from my blocks. I think it's called coin stack, or something?

I hope you show is your final product!

You could add a row of square in a square blocks on point at the top and bottom. Or add a piece of background at the top and bottom and applique a vine and flowers. Be as creative as you want.

going to be beautiful however it's done

I think like hannajo shows in her friendship star quilt would really add to your quilt. You could put the smaller stacked coins all the way around your quilt & then add the longer ones to the top & bottom. I think it would look awesome that way. Good job on what you have already done.

She is making a 'thinking outside the block'. It looks the way it should, adding more of the same blocks all the way around to keep with the pattern. I have that pattern and hope to make it soon.

Very pretty quilt.

Just add an extra row on the top and bottom: green, pink, green. I also like Irish NY's suggestion using a larger border at the top and bottom and adding appliqued vines and flowers. That pattern is on my bucket list!

I did a similar type design for my daughter and to make it longer than wide I did another row of squares (or partial squares) at each end in the configuration that continued the pattern of the center portion. Sorry I don't have a picture.

I like Qm's suggestion. OR, just place rows of strips in the same color order as your blocks, separated by the cream-first pinks, then greens, then browns. On upper and lower ends only-not the sides. Then a cream border and binding.

I would make 3 more blocks cut in half. 3 at top 3 at bottom. Or similiar.
