I like this idea except if possible can you use your leftover fabs and make some sort of small border design with it - I would go long not squares - maybe cut on bias so all the colors are slightly angled.

Great quilt!!! My address is.... :lol: cheryl :thumbup:

I like black for a border but I really like your first one.

I like the first layout and the border on the left. Beautiful. I have never done a log cabin quilt. It is on my bucket list

Beautiful quilt. The colors just pop! I love the border on the left.

how about 2 borders; the first on should be black or red; I really like the red; your eyes need a place to rest then the 2nd one I'd do the black w/the small blocks you have displayed. I think the other border is so busy it'll take away from you quilt. Which by the way is gorgeous. I'd make the inside border smaller than the outside one.

I think the left one adds a lot of interest.
Beautiful colors.

I like the black border with the squares.

Wow! Love those bright colors and the design too. I like the border with squares best.

That is absolutely beautiful! Any one of the borders looks great!

I like the border with the blocks separated.
