I wanted a sampler quilt, with loads of different types of blocks, made in different ways, each one totally up to the person making the block.
I don't think I could have ask for anything more perfect, do you? (I'll try and get an outside photo at the weekend, it's a bit windy today but if you click on the pic it gets BIG so you can see it better)
I have been toying with the idea of adding another border, but I wasn't sure. I think I'll leave it as it is. The wise women of flickr have said to leave it be. The husband also suggested leaving it with the one border, and binding it in a purple based fabric. Check him out, he's picking things up - maybe he'll turn into another quilt dad and try and steal my machine. There'll be trouble if that happens. He also suggested a very busy quilting pattern - like a paisley. You know, I think he might be right.

It's very pretty! Maybe you could do an extra wide binding instead of an extra border? Where's NooNoo on this picture?

Your quilt is gorgeous! And I think your hubs is right. It's going to be even more stunning when it's finished.
Oh, Katy, it did turn out lovely and man, it's so fun to see all of our blocks put together in a complete top. Yes, I agree, it is complete as is. My sweetie is just like your hubby, totally gets into the fact that he "knows stuff" about fabric and quilting now! ;->
