Vintage Christmas for Melinda - Cocorico January

A ginger bread house for Melinda.

I had to throw in some pink as well I hope you don't mind, it just seemed so perfectly sugar sweet to me!

 

I am a bit stuck on how to finish this. I really struggle to make large paper pieced blocks, I just can't seem to do it!

This block is 8" so it needs a border or something to get to 12 1/2" But after auditioning several fabrics I can't seem to find the right one. it does not help that I have no Christmas fabrics! Are you planning on adding sashing to the finished quilt top? Should I piece a border? Perhaps I should go for a Kona snow border and follow Amy's lead and add some stamped text...

Suggestions are welcome!
