is all sewed together. Problem? It's not quite big enough. I need it about 12 inches wider on each side (so 24 inches longer and wider) so it can be queen-sized. I am paralyzed about what to do next. I would like to add a slim colorful border or two along with more of the cream background fabric. Mainly, I can't decide whether it would be best to go: blocks, cream border, colorful border, cream border, or border this big block with a colorful strip (I'm thinking a fuschia-white polka dot) and then have the rest be the background fabric. I think I definitely want the background fabric next to the binding.
So any opinions, o quilting friends? Would the border right next to the blocks overwhelm them? Or would bordering with the background make this section look odd? Maybe a fuschia AND a baby blue border? AHHH PLEASE HELP ME.
Closer look at blocks (apologies for the blurry pic!):

I have to see this in person. It looks amazing. Whatever you do will be good around the border. trust yourself! You have mad awesome style. It's so pretty.
Hmmm. I think I would go with a solid color border (something calm, maybe like the light blue in some of the leaves?) and then a small border of cream around that, OR leave the cream for the binding! But see what other people say, too. It looks gorgeous!!
Jessica: I hadn't thought of doing lots of color. Hmm. I gotta wrap my mind around that.
It looks great, that seems like a lot of work. I like the way it is. Just the white, it makes the little leaves pop like a scatter. I am usually conservative on color though :)
