What a fantastic idea to add the border with feathers! I agree with the cute little guy...great quilt!

I don't think you could go wrong no matter what you decide, your adorable perceptive grandson is right... it's a winner regardless of what you do to finish it :) Will be waiting to see your final results.

After reading all of the post i have to say that I agree with Imc8. Play with it & see what you like! Lovely quilt!!!!!

The feathers are the perfect finish for that border. What a darling little guy.

Love the feathers, why not do the machine quilting feathers on the top and bottom.

Love the little guy, hugs and kisses.

I'd say put feathers around all 4 sides.

I really really like your quilt too! However you decide to quilt it will be beautiful.

Those feathers look a little like candy canes- it wants to be a Christmas quilt.
And I agree;that applique is stunning. Yum. My sister is taking a class at the end of the month and has promised to share.
