This is my first QAYG. I decided to use up some of my scrap fabric and just go with squares. Thank you Caliocat for telling me how to attach the border! My friend's birthday (she loves & works with horses) is the end of this month and I'm going to give it to her. My question is: should I use the yellow fabric as the binding or stay with the blue checks?

Very nice. :thumbup:

I like the yellow binding.

The quilt is so cute...as for the binding, I would use the multicolored fabric two of the horse heads are done in. jmho.... :thumbup:

Very nice and Yes to the yellow :-P

If you want your binding to be part of the design use a contrasting colour, but if you want it to "disappear" use your blue check, it's a really cute quilt!

I like the yellow as a contrast :lol:

Great job on the quilt and quilting :mrgreen:

yes yellow ,i love your quilt

Nice quilt. I vote for the blue as the border is.

I vote for the one you think your friend would like the most.

Very pretty!!! The yellow would be beautiful :D:D:D

Nice quilt..I think I would stick with the blue..

Very nice!

I like the yellow too... you did such a nice job on it.

Hi Ditter,
That's a good suggestion, but since I was using scrap pieces, I don't have enough for the material that was used for the horses. I even used a few of the bandanas that the groomer puts around my dogs' neck in a few of the smaller squares. I had been saving those for some time and the dogs never wear them and now that I'm learning to quilt I look at them in a different light...ha. I have plenty of the yellow and blue checked fabric.

which one do you think your friend would like? That would be my choice. I know I am too practical for my own good.

That is a wonderful quilt. I bet she will love it. The yellow binding would be great.

I like it, good job :)

Very pretty quilt!! Use the blue fabric as the binding!!! Your DF will love her new quilt!

I agree with the blue, but use what color you like best!!

Very pretty! :)

You could piece the binding from all the fabrics you used. The yellow would be nice too.

Your quilt is really nice!! Could you tell me how you attached the borders?

I like the idea of making strips of the leftover fabric, stitching them end-to-end & using that colorful variety for the binding.

It's adorable. Use whichever fabric you prefer.
