Lots of work has gone into my snail quilt and the top for it is together and just waiting on me to make up my mind on what I want for the border. Options are a scrappy string-pieced border with a solid binding, or just pull a single fabric for the border and use a scrappy binding.........not sure which way I want to go.The final 12" of length was added -- Right side shown in top pic, left side in bottom pic.
The one large snail didn't use on the front I plan to applique to the extra wide muslin I got for the backing. I'll use the block as my quilt label.
Got the ribbon or lace trim on the final 16 plain washcloths that I have for bibs.
And I went row-by-row hopping for patterns on the north side of the Dallas metroplex. Have 7 patterns now, but only 6 of them will end up in the final quilt. Plan to do one more day of hopping to get the final 2 patterns I need for my planned layout. Have already put two of the rows together.......so I've got a good start on getting the quilt finished quickly.

For the snail quilt, I think I'd go with a solid border and a scrappy binding, only because there is a lot going on in the quilt itself.
So many cute bibs, there will be some happy babies in the future.
I always enjoy your row by row quilts, is the theme Texas?
The solid border sounds like a good plan to me!
This years theme for the row-by-row is "Taste the Experience". Most of the stores have a food related theme to their block, but not all.
