    Excellent choice on the sashing and borders. These will look great in the quilt. what a tribute to the artist.

    jean here
    i'm doing some flowers almost like yours. i used rayon thread and put a light batting under the flower area and did some thread play in the leaves and flowers before i put the quilt together.then once you sandwich it together and quilt it, it looks like trapunto and most of your quilting is done for you
