This was done by 4:30 AM and then I headed to the gym for a 4 mile run on the treadmill (best time ever... 35 minutes, 48 seconds... go figure!!!)

Dilemma.... border???? no border?????

  2. You're the second blog I've read to do with "middle of the night" sewing. I love houses and that's one cute quilt. I see a narrow inner border of a bright color and then a black and white wider border. Just sayin' but it's certainly cute just the way it is.

  4. Love it! I think just a bright binding would be nice. Then again, so would a border! I'm a lot of help, aren't I? ;)

  5. Love it! Very cute! My vote is for a border. I'm impressed by your running time. It takes me a lot longer to run 4 miles. Well done!

  7. Love it....love it....love it! Border? Hmmm....I say a wide, bright, solid color. But, whatever you do, it will still be a true work of art. Now go take a nap!

  9. Holy cow! It looks amazing!

    My vote would be for a border, but a pieced one, to match the scrappy backgrounds of the houses.

  11. Looks like enough house to be a city-state and you know that every one of those has at least one border. ;-)

  13. Oh my goodness! I love it!!! (The quilt, that is, not the 5 in the morning run on the treadmill). It looks fantastic. Have you decided on borders? I think it needs to be 'framed' with something. The black and white stripe? Definitely.
    Oh, love it love it love it ♥

  16. Border/no border? Hmmm, that depends: how were you planning to bind it?

    I'd be tempted, though, to add more black & white, maybe pieced? And I like the idea of lime green binding...

  17. I vote for a border. Seems to me a little more fabric would frame the blocks - which are SO cool, by the way! And not chop them off right at the edge.

    Great job on the running, too!

  21. I have always thought you didn't sleep with the amount of stuff you get done....! and yes..if you can't sleep you might as well sew....I love the quilt....I am thinking a bright peeper border with a darker one to frame it...but I am sure it is probably all finished by now! LOL...have a great weekend...keep running..keep stitching!......oh...and get some sleep!
