I have to search my fabric stash to see what fabrics I have left to do a border or sashing.
I just don't know how to finish this quilt. Should I set the blocks on point or straight?
Should I do a pieced border or plain or both?
Although my hand applique is far from expert, it was a lot of work and I don't want these blocks to just sit in a drawer to be sold at a garage sale by my kids someday. I want to enjoy looking at it as a finished quilt myself!
There is still one batch (I think 4) left to iron. I'm putting those on the blog tomorrow.
For those who've commented on my camera settings, these photos were taken outside, not in direct sunlight without the flash. I just have a cheap little camera. So thanks for letting me share! It means a lot to me to get your feedback! Have a great Thursday! Cheery wave from Bev

I am loving the blocks. I am about to start a applique quilt and for the first time want to hand applique.. this helps encourage me.
Am looking forward to seeing how you decide to finish the quilt.
Hello I love your appliqué , I have only made one attempt at it and the nearly finished blocks sat for nearly 2 decades before I finally got the top finished.
Now it's sitting in the basket of completed tops waiting to br quilted lol
I would set your blocks on point using a finished 2" sashing and corner stones using your plaid fabrics.

Gorgeous blocks!!
I'd say on point with a plain border so you can focus on each block.
I really really love these blocks!! I just adore plaids, and needleturn applique is my favorite thing to do. Such a beautiful combination. I like the idea of on-point---what about scrappy plaid strips as sashing and borders?
