    EQ send me your e-mail address and I will send you the clipart.

    k, Take a yard of very dark blue fabric and lay it out on the bed. Take your "Scales of Justice" center and place it in the center of the dark blue fabric. Then tell me it doesn't look great!

    Well Ihave just caught up with this thread. all you over achievers just doing great work.

    BTW I like the scales of justice Art Noveau that you did and It could well look better on black, however its nice the way it is. Lots of lovely borders on that one.

    OMG you've all started already!!!! The deadline is October, right? I'm at the ideas stage.... :lol:

    KW - I agree with MTP - try a darkish border and see what happens, heck, what's WRONG with gaudy anyway! Never did Elvis any harm! Well, come to think of it, it DID actually, so scrap that! I think with a mix of bright and brash and darkish borders it could really work, it's just kind of 'out of context' at the moment; BUT this is a big project so YOU have to be happy with it! :D

    Terri, I remember that card from Izy, that's a great idea for a centre, can't wait to see what you come up with. Have you ever done any stained glass? Might work for the window, then with a black kitty against it could look cool! Just an idea, use it or bin it, your call! :D

    I meant this as a preview of what a dark blue border would look like around this as a centerpiece. Not to change the current background fabric. Just one of the possibilities someone might do for the next round.

    My mom asked me if I could post a picture of her center as she was having some issues re-sizing it. This center belongs to Buddy'sMom.

    I haven't started yet either - I'm still thinking, but I have no idea what I want to do for my center yet. It's probably going to be a pretty standard pieced center, though, because I'm a beginner quilter and I just don't have time to do something new or complicated, with all the other projects I have on the go!
