    To me the blue looks richer. The yellow drabs it out a little. (Just my opinion) Myra

    Totally adorable quilt~! I am in a quilt group in Fredericksburg Virginia called the Wannabees. One quilter brought in a child's quilt and she had taken all of the fabrics that she used in the quilt and randomly sewed them into strips...used 2 1/2 inch or whatever size width x however wide she wanted the border. You could consider stripping blue and yellow together and border it that way. If this doesn't make any sense...let me know and I will try to explain it better. It is 1:00 am and I am somewhat fuzzy!!

    What do you think of idea?
    I think it's the way to go. Great blocks.

    I love your quilt! I also vote for the blue. I think it sets it off better. Where did you get the pattern?

    Thanks for the compliment. There's no pattern for this quilt. I just made it up, and that is how I got here, asking for help.

    You could sandwich it by using blue on the inside, the mixed colors as the next border, and blue as your binding. It gives it a picture frame look. Myra
