Hmmm...........I'm starting to think those stripes are fighting with the blocks. How about a really dark navy there instead? And would you then use the stripes for binding? Or maybe a navy 'stop border' (narrow around the whole thing) and then the stripe border? Decisions, decisions................

I love your flimsy. I'm not usually a big fan of blue quilts; but, this is nice.
I like how you have put that stripey border in. It's looking really good as it is - I would say leave it how it is with a stripey border. However I'm not terribly adventurous and it could look really terrific with an extra stripey border! I'll be interested with what you end up doing.
oops - I see my daughter (who is home) has signed in on my laptop. It was Raewyn, not Tarn, who left the previous message!
Loving your's:) Looks great!
Have mine on the design wall but not sure what I am going to add & do just yet...I have arranged & rearranged the blocks, and I think I have them the way I want:)May need to make a few more myself...
Thanks for hosting:)

This is a great looking quilt! I think you have enough stripes as it is and maybe a more solid-looking border would look nice . . . to kind of frame-up the entire quilt. It will be fun to see what you decide.
Hi Pat, It looks good! The center stripes act as a sort of optical illusion, and I like them there. Would add a border of solid navy and then piano keys, perhaps? Marianne
Ooooh! This is gorgeous!! I love how you've used the strip (is that pieced) fabric to 'introduce' a border with some of the blocks.... If it were mine I'd stop right there and finish with a scrappy blue binding... maybe not the stripe... don't know, LOL... fat lot of use am I! LOL...
Great going though!
I like the pieced sashing, it made me take notice! I probably would not do the piano keys borders, though. You've really made this your own. Go with what makes you smile ~
:-}pokey
Love your blue and white blocks!
My suggestion would be to use a dark navy solid instead of the striped fabric. I think you're right about it "fighting" with your blocks. Maybe the striped fabric would make a better border with a solid navy binding.
Looking forward to seeing how you finish this one up . . .
