I think they will be great-if they seem too much for you alternate them with a solid bloc-otherwisw finish with a pink binding wnd it will be great

yes to the pinwheels

Odd man out here.....I think that it detracts from the carrosel. However, I seem to be in the huge minority. LOL

Just a 1/2" pink border, then your pinwheels, then the pink binding will make them standout. Love it!

I think the pinwheels add to the theme. Go for it.

I so agree....pink binding and a bit of bling (if she is old enough).

BuzzinBumble 07-16-2012 07:28 AM

Yes indeedy! Those pinwheels are great!

I made these pinwheels to go around the outer edges as a border. See what you think, will they work? Or should I go back to just a plain solid color?

My vote is definitely the pinwheels, they look like they belong and really set off the quilt top.

I agree! Does have that spinning look to emphasize the caroulsel theme. So cute! The suggestions of bling by someone would also be cute but don't know the age of the child and safety would be utmost!

Bluelady 07-16-2012 09:05 AM

Oh yes to the pinwheels! They brighten up the whole thing!

Gerrie 07-16-2012 09:26 AM

I vote for the pinwheels too will be really pretty

Sewnique 07-16-2012 09:29 AM

Definitely go with the pinwheels! She will feel so special no matter how you end up finishing it. Your thoughtfulness is to be commended.

I love your quilt. Like somebody else said, I'd think a pink binding would tie it all together. It is gorgeous.
