Very nice. And, the other posters are right...the blue from the wall color does something for your quilt. It would look good as a border fabric.

I love it. How about a small bright red border with the bright blue larger all around. I think it will be stunning. Is it going in that room you are in? I also think you might want to add some blocks to the quilt where it needs to be a lot longer. But it is a keeper.

I suggest a narrow 1" border all around in probably red and then do a piano key border. I've done several log cabins this way and it looks very nice and scrappy.

I like that idea also.

I like it! I am leaning towards the piano key border also.

What color border/borders would you suggest? I was thinking a thin red border and then a wider border and then maybe smaller log cabin blocks as another border. I'm not sure how big I want to make this because I think it will be tricky to quilt.
Any advice from people who have done log cabins?
Looks like the quilt was intended for that wall. Blues match prefectly
