    I love all the new centers showing up on here ladies. It will be so exciting to see which ones we get from the gals with two centers. I'm working on a label and hope it works like I think it will??

    Ninnie...Are you ok with the size it will end up finished if you leave it at 20 x 20? If so...I would not add another border...the first border to be added is only 3"...so...think about that.
    I would love to just leave it, and see what Lacelady does, but the edges don't look all that straight to me :roll: :roll: It measures up square, but it just doesn't look all that good to me. It is so different from what I usually do, I guess I am just scared. :lol: :lol: I just thought a small border might make it easier to work on.

    Well, if nothing else gets done around here, I will use this as my center. I made one of these already, but it was too small and I forgot to make the last row wider to allow for the 5/8" seam allowance. Now I'm looking at this one and wishing it had more colours in it.

    It's gorgeous as is. I get it first . . . what other colors do you have in mind to add as we go?

    More beautiful centres! I don't think the last one has too few colours - I think it's really elegant!

    And Ninnie I agree with Cute re not putting another border. It's great as is!

    And Gai ya big cheat!!! Now question - would you have fessed up if someone hadn't asked to see the fabric?! :mrgreen: :lol:

    Ninnie...if it measures up square, then it must be square right??? Let Lacelady work her magic on it as is I say :wink:

    b.zang...I really like you center with just the 2 colors....lots more will be added as it goes along...yikes...you might want to kinda let others know if you have a preference as to which colors... :roll: :lol:

    I think a two color quilt is stunning - and there will be enough variations in the blues that other's add that I think it will be wonderful!
