A little peek at a quilt I am working on made from lots of my own printed fabric! This is destined to be a gift for a new arrival some time in February but I am falling in love with it more every day and I am not sure I want to part with it. Probably because it is such fun to be working with fabric I designed and printed.
I can't quite decide though on a border. Plain seems too boring but pieced seems too fussy. What do you think?

2 borders? An inner border in plain and a pieced outer border. That's what I'd do, I think it looks wonderful though!

SO cute! If it was me, I would do the border in one of the Robot prints (probably one with a white background) and then I would do the binding in a combination of all the fabrics to pull it together :)

That is so cool! I love all the different designs & colors. As for the binding, well, you've already got lots of suggestions...can't wait to see what you decided on.

This is so beautiful...I love the Robots...I think I would just do a mixed binding...but I am sure whatever you do will be fantastic, Tam xo

So cute! Me too, me too!
My vote is for a wide white sash and then an orange-gingham binding. (I think you should make two - one for you and one for the baby. Oh and maybe one for me too, just to be safe...)
