This one would be hard to add larger boarders to one side without making it look odd. If you have enough fabric, maybe you could just add another row to it. It is beautiful fabric and the pattern is great for it. Too bad it doesn't go with your decor. It would make a nice throw for the back of a couch.

There's nothing wrong with a square quilt. All it needs is a black binding. It is too gorgeous to be unfinished.

I would put that one in a pillow.
I these are excellent suggestions, Tartan.

If you have more fabric to make more blocks how about another row on the bottom - 4 wide x 5 long

In my eye, I can easily see a black border which would carry out the theme of bordering all the blocks with black. I'd go for an even border extending the finished quilt to approx. 72x72. JMHO!

Is there a 6 to 9 year old girl in your life? It would be perfect for a child that age. It is a beautiful quilt!

I wouldn't move anything, just add a black border, it's a striking quilt. As someone already suggested, if the size doesn't work any other way, fold it and drape it over a chair, and when you feel the need for a big snuggly lap quilt there it is.

Thanks all, wonderful ideas.
Actually the shot cotton used is Kona Espresso, not black
I think I know what I'd do now. Will post a picture when everything is done.
Thanks again

Sierra, I don't have girls. I have two Nerf wielding Lego playing boys!
