What to do to finish it off?

patchwork star

When I was on my quilting retreat in August I made the centre star. When I came home I squared the corners up and then it sat in a funk. How to finish it, what to do? I am trying to finish things at the moment, but what with work and being hit by a vicious cold I have done nothing for the last few weeks. 

I decided just to get on with it, not be precious about it and so I put the grey border on. I have three more little strip borders (some of that black with white dot) to put on and then I am going to try quilting it as a spiral. I see lots of people out in blog world doing that. So whether I like it or not at the end I am not sure but at least I will have a plan!!

  2. The grey borders fits great! I don't know the size of it but it would be a beautiful wall hanging.

  3. Medallion quilts are trickier to border, I think! You are going the right way, not over-analyzing. It will look great!
