Again, many thanks, it's great to get other opinions, especially when you're stuck and quilting alone :).

I've seen them both ways. I like the first one best. Another thing I've seen done is a narrow border between the rows - maybe 1-1/2" or so. I think if you do that you might want to audition some colors to see what works best. Keep us posted on your progress! :D

It looks wonderful either way. :D :D :D
