Yes. I would add a border that had some piecing to it, just to give it that pieced quilt look.

At 22" wide, you can put a column of 7 " block on each side to bring it up to 36x44. Then border it with or without a narrow border first. I like a 4/5 ratio of width to length. This would do it.

I must have missed something somewhere. It seems to already be quilted. I would wonder how a border would be added. If it's a wall hanging, I like it as it is. The dimensions don't bother me. A binding the same color as the little scalloped edge might be nice.

Hi GailG, You are right, it is partially quilted. But the more I work on it, the more it seems like it needs a border. If I add one I will put it on as I do with quilt as you go. Top right sides together - the then backing right sides together with the batting on top. Sew it on, then bring the pieces together, baste and bind.

I was thinking quilt when I posted. If it's a wallhanging, then it can be any size.

I like the idea of a scalloped border!
Please show us what you decide!

I think it needs a little something. Looks like the center panel of a crib quilt. I would make it that size, I believe that it will sell much quicker that way.

yes.....22 is not wide enuf for the length you have. 45 wide would be good, but even 42, to make it square would make it more usable for a longer period of time. a tiny yellow strip followed by the turquoise would really set it off.
