    Applique border without the corner pinwheels and finish it off with a blue binding. Beautiful.

    i loved the appliqued border & the pinwheels! Is there any way you could add more flowers so they extend to cover the rest of the white border to the edges? Love your work!

    thank you all for you input, advise and suggestions. All taken well. I am not sure of the pinwheels, but since it was made from charm packs I do not have enough fabric to make more blocks, pinwheels are cut off's from making these blocks and I do not have the blue fabric anymore. will try to find it on the web since it would make a nice binding (I do run into this kind of problems quite often). If I do not use the pinwheels then I will have to applique more flowers for the corners and borders........ . Thank you, again.

    I Love the pinwheels in the corner and the offset layout! Perfect just the way you have it... unless you want to add a little more applique to what is already there.

    Please leave the pinwheels in! Sheer genius.

    I like the applique border. MY thought is that the pinwheels throw it off somehow. Maybe if you did an applique setting in the corners it would look better. Love that you are using everything from the quilt top, I am distracted by them.

    I love the appliqué and I think it makes a pretty quilt beautiful. I think it would look great to put the appliqué around the corners do the same in the opposite corner and not use the pieced corners. The pieced corners take away from the nice piecing of the quilt but the appliqué adds to it. Don't know if I am good at explaining this after reading it. I am saying swag the appliqué on opposite corners, it would be beautiful!
