I think it's very nice. I'm starting my first quilt. I hope mine looks half as nice as yours. I'll probably be on here with MANY questions on what to do!!

I think so too. I have a quilt that needed to be larger and I put three borders on it, a 1", 3" and 6". It looks great. Just be sure to audition the fabrics to see what looks best to you. Beautiful job!! :-P

No suggestions here, but I want to compliment you - I think the quilt is really pretty!!

you poor thing! I'd go with a dark green border, it's a very pretty quilt and I think you're a real trooper for staying with it.

Here's what I would do: stop being so critical of my work and focus on enjoying the process more. If you aren't able to be more forgiving of your work, you'll get discouraged and quit, and that would be a shame because you would deprive yourself of the practice you'll need to do to become a quilter who does this with ease and confidence. This quilt is beautiful, and I have a feeling it always has been.

I would finish it. I would put a dark green 2 1/2" border around it, then add a larger border in the pastel colors to make it larger. Or a couple different borders. Lots of quilts are made that way to fit the bed. You can still make it a King. It's so pretty and you wanted a King, then make it a king and just be real creative. You can do it.

I love this quilt, can't believe that this is your 1st quilt! Yes, make it bigger. Take it to the fabric store and audition some fabrics next to it and add what you like.
Look up other patchwork quilts on the web to get ideas.

Your quilts will be fine if you square up your blocks and sew a careful 1/4 inch seam, looks like that is what you did. You are doing great!

What a lovely quilt. Add some borders ( maybe 2 ) and that will increase the size a bit. Love the soft colors together.

It is beautiful. I think you should finish it!!!
