    I think this is just gorgeous! If it were mine, I would add a dk border similar to the dk fabric in the quilt. 2-3 inch wide? Then you could do any type of wider fabric for another border or make small blocks for a border. If you did make blocks, then I would finish it off with a solid border. Just my opinion. I think it is really pretty now.

    For all the problems you've had with it it sure is lovely!!!
    I would just do simple borders and move on. You deserve it!
    Beautiful quilt! :D:D

    It's pretty. If it was mine I would finish it, if it turns out full, it turns out full. I have stuff I did earlier in my life that don't look as nice as what I do now. It's no big deal. Part of life, live and learn. I would be proud of it if I were you. If you can't live with it being full, put a border on, stripes, or whatever. It's your project, however it turns out it is how you wanted it to be. Good job. :thumbup:

    It is looking good. Any pastel border to match the fabrics will suit. Hang in there till its finished and it will look even nicer. You'll feel a great sense of achievement too! :D

    I love the block that you used. I think I'd finish it by binding it with the dark green and don't add any borders.

    Have fun because this is a great group to ask:o)
