Yup, I...Beautiful quilt, but I can see the dilemma. Yup, I would add a row if it was my quilt.<br />Maybe I am a slave to symmetry where quilts are concerned. That is why when I wanted Bonnie's Floribunda quilt I was making to be larger, I bordered it instead of putting on another row of blocks. It was symmetrical as the pattern was written, but it was also narrow. If I wanted it one row wider it would have been off-balance, but I didn't want to widen it by two rows. So I added a border half the width of a row and since it goes on both sides, it worked out!Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.com
