IMHO it could use a tone on tone border. Perhaps a blue that goes with the sashing?

Thank you so very much.
I have just spent a week going through totes of scrapes and cutting them into 5" blocks and was wondering what to do with them. You came to my rescue with a wonderful pattern. Thanks, now I know what my next project will be.

It is made with four 5" squares; then you make 1' cuts left and right and top and bottom of center; rotate the larger pieces and resew; then square up your blocks. (Then it's called a D4P---a disappearing four patch) I just added the sashing pieces so I wouldn't have to worry about matching all those seams you get. Of course you could use larger squares. I was just trying to use of leftover material.

Maybe a black border? I love the quilt!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

I like those blocks, great job. I would finish with a solid border, that would really set it off.

a soft peachy pink border would be nice... I think. I'm a newbie, so take it with a "bag" of salt!!! :lol: :lol:

Personally, I would love a solid pink border.

a solid border will look so beautiful.

Great job.... I would use a solid border!

OOH I love it! I think it can definately stand on its own. I love scrappy.

I like the idea of a border...beautiful quilt!
