Dutch Scarf Quilt

I have been so inspired by Kathie's mini quilts lately that I thought I would try to make some. Large quilts take me forever to finish. A lot of the time I get side tracked or bored with them. A mini quilt is quick and fast to piece and it shows as much detail as larger quilts do.

This quilt was made to fit inside the scarf Ria sent me from The Netherlands. Red, white and blue are the colours of the Netherlands. I will call it Dutch Scarf Quilt. The block is 1.5" square by 8 blocks. The total size fits perfectly inside the scarf without losing too much of the border details. I will hand quilt it and bind it in blue.

I tried it on my timber chest of draws and it sits beautifully there. After I finished it I pinned it up on the back of my couch for a few days. The more I look at it the more I like it! Yes it will look even better after it is quilted. Any suggestions on how I should quilt it?
