    I think that pattern might be too busy, and not in keeping with the piecing pattern in the rest of the quilt. I would just go with a 4 patch (the green from the stop border and the rust) or a sawtooth star.

    I think I would go with a simpler block. 4 patch, 9 patch, pinwheels, bear paw etc. Love the colors and pattern you have chosen.

    Yes, I was thinking the same, maybe a 4 or 9 patch.

    I would just continue the pattern you used in the border.

    If you don't like that idea ... how about a square in a square?

    I would just put a square of the blue print that was used in the quilt center.

    I agree, something with simple lines and not small pieces. It's going to be a beautiful quilt.
