    Default Her name is Busy

    Our guild had a house/barn, etc. block of the month challenge last year and I've come this far. We drew a name each month and that person had to bring a pattern for the next month. I embellished the blocks and for some reason I needed to put a cat and a sunflower in each block hence the middle panel and the poem I wrote for it. I've worried with this until I'm brain dead. Honest opinion, does it need another border or can I quit at this? And if so, what? It's about a 60x72 as is. Thanks in advance for looking and your opinion.
    The poem reads:
    My name if Busy, I love to roam
    this little village I call home.
    I love the birds and wait at doors
    I ride, I hide and even more.
    I try to learn my ABC's.
    And even like to climb in trees
    I'm in window or at the farm
    I dream of quilting (can't do no harm)
    I'm checking mail, I'm on a perch
    I even want to go to church.
    So look for me 'cause I'll be there,
    in every block
    I'm Everywhere !!

    Love your addition of the cat & poem. It would have been very ordinary without them.
    I think an added border would be nice.

    Your quilt is adorable and the poem is a nice touch.
    I would not add another border.

    I would only add another border if you need it to be larger. I think it looks fine the way it is.
