Traditionally log cabins have a first very narrow--say an inch--of the center fabric. It always looks nice. BUT--I think yours would looks lovely with a border of blue or just a binding. It's so pretty--whatever you decide it's going to be a winner.

If it's the size you want I'd get some material that is the darker blue and bind it, if not you can put one or several borders on it as long as you keep to the same color family, it'll look fine. I really like it, you did a great job.

Thank You

Did a screen shot of your square and put an arrow on the light blue fabric. I've seen this one at JoAnn Fabrics and they also have one in a darker blue that would work pick up the darker blue in the next strip so either one would work nicely to add a border all the way around and then to bind off. I do agree with the other ladies too though that you could just bind it off and call it good. It's a beautiful quilt and great colors. This is one of those personal preference things so decide and enjoy using it.
