I can't decide if it needs another border. It is 72" square and so I'm leaning towards it being done.
Look what greets me every morning as I look out my back door. We have six hibiscus bushes but this one seems to be the heartiest. Such a cheerful greeting each day.
Have a great Saturday.

I would call it done, Robin--and I would also call it a wonderful finish! Honestly, I would never notice if the sawtooth border was all the same or not. There is so much here to attract the eye that such a detail would not stand out to me.
Lovely hibiscus bush! They don't do so well up here, though I know a few people who have a "micro-climate" against a building or some other protective barrier that allows them to grow a successful hibiscus.
That's gorgeous!! I love how you have used the Blindman's Fancy blocks around the medallion.
I have several hibiscus bushes too. I think mine look the same but are called Rose of Sharon and a couple of them are pink. I need to prune a white one because it looks like a tree instead of a bush. I watched a hummingbird go to almost every single flower on them yesterday.
Your quilt is beautiful. I love it just the way it is. Hugs
Your quilt is so lovely Robin! I think it looks done :)
What a wonderful quilt, Robin! I love it. It is packed with interesting, from the center block right out to the border. I keep looking and looking at the fabrics, colors, arrangements of light/dark, etc. It's interesting how we see some detail in a finished quilt that we would have done differently, had we noticed earlier. I think your sawtooth borders are just right as they are.
Your hibiscus is beautiful. I don't believe I've ever seen a white one. In El Salvador, where we lived for a brief time, they made a tea from the flowers. It took us the longest time to figure out that "rosa de jamaica" (pronounced ha-my-ca) was hibiscus. It wasn't till years later that I actually saw a real hibiscus plant with flowers. It must be a fun welcome to the new day when you see it each morning.
What a fabulous Christmas Quilt! It looks like complete, but if you want a larger quilt you can always add a border. I love the blocks.
The hibiscus is so pretty. I bet it smells lovely.
The applique center block is so very pretty.
