Help, can I add another border?

I thought that I finished a queen size quilt this morning.  BUT, when I measured it, it was only 70 x 70.  Will it work to add another border???

  1. You could put another row of churn dash blocks around the border. That would be quite a bit more work and I don't know if you still have enough of the fabric you already used on your blocks. Just a thought.

  2. Remember, the only rule in quilting is that you must cut up perfectly good fabric and sew it together again. I have made quilts with one, two and three borders. Also make them without borders. The one I just finished was going to have two borders until I decided to only put on one while the one before that had two borders. Love the way you laid these out.

  5. I think it would look great with another border!
    I would probably choose the light background print (cream with blue) for the final border and add a darker blue binding. (of course that's a personal choice) lol

  6. I like Aunt Reen's idea of ending with a dark binding. Trim the dark blue, add another cream, then the dark border. Use what ever proportions look good to you.
    I know it will be beautiful!!!
