I would add a dark border. Then for the binding would cut strips of all the fabrics sew them together, then recut the width of your binding. I think it would bring out all the colors in your quilt.

I love it. I think borders would really set it off. Oh and if you haven't figured out who you are donating it to yet, PM me for my address. You've done a great job. whoever is getting it will be tickled pink!

I think it looks terrific, just add dark binding. By the way, your dog is adorable, love those white faced Goldens, looks just like my Jonah now.

It is adorable!! Why don't you just bind it in a little wider binding, say 1/2 - 3/4 inches and call it done?

should I just leave it like this and call it good?
It's going to be a donation

I'd just bind it with a dark blue.
