I decided to take the lazy way out and just folded some of the remaining yardage into the same area of the fabric as the border that was on the top and pinned it in place. I think I do like this better so I'll start unsewing today.
This is the official finished photo of the batik strip quilt with zebra print binding.
I zoomed in for a closer look at the quilting. You can see that no two rows are alike. This quilting was fast and fun to do.

I really LOVE the swirly border with the straight lines of the block pattern. It's just terrific! (and inspiring!)
I agree - the border on the crosses quilt does look better when it's flipped around. Love the striped quilt - what a great way to use up leftovers!
Both the top and the quilt look great. You are making headway. Feels good to make some progress. Chris
wonderful, wonderful! Now that I see it switched, I agree about the swirly border.
I like your batik-with-zebra - great finish!
Love this crosses quilt and I like the border either way. I don't find it distracting to have the circle meet in the upper corner.
Glad your dad enjoyed the family reunion. My dad enjoys them too, as do it.
I love both quilts.
Now don't hit me, but did you consider mitering the borders on the crosses quilt?
It's 11:30pm, I'm tired. I'm on my way to bed and your quilts are the last thing I see - they make me smile! I hope they give me lots of colourful, inspirational dreams!
The top looks wonderful with that border. Love the quilting on your strip quilt :)
I like the change you made to the border on the crosses quilt. Definitely better.
The strip quilt is lovely too.
Really like your quilting on the batik strip quilt!
You were right for sure!
Your crosses quilt is beautiful 'speciually the colours -and the borders.
I like the border solution. Love that quilt. I like the quilting on the strip quilt too.
I made a jelly roll strip quilt from Terrain fabric by Kate Spain and will take inspiration from your quilting on yours - Love it! Love the new Kaffee print in the border - I always enjoy seeing your solutions:)

Yep, you're right. It's better. I really like how this grew into the state it has become. I'm making one. You inspire me!
I agree too... circle border... now is perfect ! (*._,*)
Zebra binding.. Like the game "Jenga" this one stacks up with precision and beauty.

Your zebra binding is very fun. I like the way your crosses quilt is coming along. Your fabric choices are great, as usual. Glad your dad had a good time at the family reunion. It is wonderful that so many family members are close enough to attend.
