    Finally finished my border, had to add the strip between it & the ribbon border to calm it down a tad. Have an idea for the next border but waiting to see what pops up the first of the month, maybe i'll like them better than my idea. Enjoying this process and see what everyone else comes up with.
    By the way, we had 5 inches of rain yesterday.

    Whoa, Mama, that white border surely sets off the beautiful ribbon border. Wonderful. Really pretty.

    I'd go with another round of purple

    I'm not sure where I am on rounds. I think I still need to add one for this month. My top is now 40 3/4". So Ladies am I on track or add another? And how wide?
    Thank you for doing all the math, I just always seem to get too little or way too big.

    I just realized the border on right is the opposite of the other 3. What should I do? Leave it, turn it, or turn the one opposite it?

    Leave it. When you run your eyes around that border counter clockwise, it is continuous in direction. I like the effect.
