Great attic windows ! you would lose it with more sashing. but you could put a tiny (1/4") folded "lip" around the edge to bring in just the bit of color you feel you need. that's before any borders. elaine

To all of you who want to see more of this fairy fabric, go online and type in- Michael Miller Fairies.
This will get you to where you can see the various patterns.
Glad you like the print and thank you to so many people who have given me excellent options.
I'll be happy to post the finished product.

OK. I came up with an idea for a trim around the outside edge of the Attic Window. When I purchased my material, there was a border of flowers between the groupings of fairy panels. These flowers correspond to the flowers found in each fairy panel. This border was cut off in long strips which I saved. If I fold this strip in half and press, I can sew a narrow 'lip' around the outer edge of the larger piece, thus separating the Attic Window from the outer border(s) and binding.
Thoughts?

I love your fairy quilt just the way it is. I think the flowers would take away from it. Could you somehow incorporate them into the back border but so they don't show on the front? Lovely.
