    Ooh... I like that idea of using the original fabric! I want to (someday) make a OBW & I'm going to remember this tip! Thanks!

    Your quilt colors and blocks are wonderful but like you, I would be stumped on how to proceed with borders, so I am not going to be any help. Looking forward to your completed quilt, I know it will turn out great.
