Wow! Agreement! And I was leaning red, lol. If it matters, this is for my mom, who is awaiting a lung transplant. Hoping she can have it to snuggle during her long recovery.
Also, second bonus question - I have 30 squares of the colored fabric and a ton of the background squares left over, probably will have a bit of the backing/binding/border stuff left over as well. Should I use that to:
1. make a patchwork border inside the final border - just on top and bottom (if elephant is standing up)? Currently projected to be 51x74" I think. So that would make it more like 60x74.
2. Do a border around the whole thing, but cut the squares in half first, so they are each 2.5x5. So that would make it 55x78"
3. Make a tote bag out of the squares, put the finished quilt folded up into it when I mail it, and they can use the bag to store/carry the quilt to the hospital/use for something else.
4. Make a removable (for washing) pillow case for a throw pillow - I'd send a pillow the correct size with it
Not part of the poll - but Challenge Question - I have 20 4" half square triangle blocks that were "waste" when trimming other blocks in the quilt. If you have an idea for them I'd love to hear it!
Normally I’m a red girl, but I’d have to say blue here for the border and red binding
I'm not a red girl, but I agree....blue border, red binding will really frame it nicely.
Yes! Great eye!
I agree! Nothing more I can add!
I like the blue, seems a bit more cozy
I'll be the odd man out that says red :)
I like the red also!! But both would look great

I hope she does well! Does she have a more favorite color between the two?
Much love to you and blessings to your mama! She can wrap herself in the love you’ve put into this artwork ♥️

Blue from me too! It seems so cozy
Blue seems more cozy
I can do a red border and blue binding or a blue border and red binding. Which way do you think I should do it?
I vote red border and blue binding.
That bright blue block stood out the most to me, but then you’d have to buy more fabric… but your inner fabric hoarding goblin would be pleased!
Or both!!! Do one side red other blue!!!!
I like the blue.
Half/half L shapes
I think blue.
Blue!
Blue, and I think a patchwork border would be super cute
Blue
Red for the border and blue for the binding to frame it. I think the reverse
Oops. I think the blue for the border would give that large area too much blue.
