Z Z Top so far....



So here is the cut, sewn, cut, sewn, sewn, sewn top. In that order. Now I have to think about a border to make it up to single bed size, as you can see I come up slightly small. Please excuse the photos, they were taken on my mobile as my camera battery is flat and I couldn't wait! I'd love to hear from you fab quilters any ideas on bordering this. I was thinking either: a small floral print taken from the range, a strip border or charm squares? I am cautious not to make it look too busy or blended but I don't want to stuff it up! Argh.... Any ideas would be gratefully accepted.

Looks great Leah! Personally I'd do just a strip border in one of the plain fabrics, the same width as the larger squares, then a dark coloured binding, either plain again or one of the larger prints. That would make the centre bit pop out, KWIM? Its looking really good!
