I can't remember the name of the BOM--it was from a private group. It was pretty intense. I quilted another one just like this BOM in blues for $$. I can post a pic of that sometime if anyone is interested.

This seens to be the concensus--another solid border to end with and maybe the binding the same too. If I used a light binding not sure I would like that but I will audition it.

I am using the gold for another project so will not be using that in any more of the borders. Unless I change the other project. HA But an idea I might try--thanks.

Yes I have to admit the blocks go so well together--one of them had over 90 pieces in it.

This border is called "beads" or something like that. I realized when trimming it that it is or like Seminole border. I have put Seminole borders on towels to fancy them up.

Sure you can copy it. I got it from a book anyway that I purchased and after I was into it realized it was the Seminole border. I wanted to learn how to do the math to make the border come out correctly. I hope I have achieved this--not completed yet.
