I don't think it needs borders either. I bought the charm squares :)

I don't have a quilt for me yet either!!

I think just bind it, no borders. Green or purple backing, and whichever of those you don't use for the binding. Enjoy!

I'd go 2 borders a narrow brown
one, .. maybe even piped then a larger one in a mid blue print. It needs framing. Then bind in the same blue print

I think I'd do a double border like what Tracy said...it will consolidate the movement and gorgeous-ness that is your quilt!

I love it!!!!!!

I think it would look great with or without borders. I was thinking maybe a nice brown backing on it as there is a little brown in the quilt but not a lot and there is a lot more of the other colours (does that makes sense).

It is beautiful. I would put borders on it but it's entirely up to you. I always use borders like a picture frame. If it enhances the picture then use it, if it doesn't then leave it out.

Thanks for posting on my blog and to answer your question the other girls do have on matching dresses, but I didn't make them.

So glad you do make quilts for yourself. I love the pattern and colours of this quilt.
I backed my quilt with polar fleece and it is soooo warm.
I wouldn't do a border either.
Can't wait to see it finished.

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers. ...
