Love it!!! Turned out very nice, good choice! :thumbup:

I vote #1 but they all work well.

That turned out really pretty!

Here is a picture of the "newlyweds" with their quilt, only 16 months after actually getting married.

Oh how nice -- you can see they love that quilt!! And, of course, you have to make sure they're gonna stay together if you put all that work into something :roll: :roll:

They look happy with their gift! I know I would be, it is beautiful!

Oh, my goodness, Cyndie! That is fabulous!!!!!!! I took a class on paper-piecing a Mariner's Compass, but got so overwhelmed that I never finished it. I admire and LOVE your quilt top.

Stunning!!!!! You did an awesome job and look at the happy couple!!!!! :D :D :D

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the corner pieces in the border! How serendipidous!

What a fantastic quilt... I'll bet you're thrilled to bits with it, and so are they by the looks of it!

I have left the "top" border off on occasions too.... and have plans to do it again. The first time was purely to make a quilt longer than it was wide, and once I'd done it I thought it actually gave it direction, it made it clear which was up and which was the bottom end.
