Absolutely beautiful, so bold and bright. Good job, what is the pattern?

I think if you did it the original way that the checkerboard in the middle of the two borders would be fine , it would carry your interest out to the edge of the quilt.

I think a generous, black border would be sufficient.

Try a two inch black, then a 3 - 4 inch red. Should do it.

I'd like to see a wider black border.

I see a couple of people have been asking about this pattern. It's called a Magic 9 Patch or Next Generation, not sure which one. Anyway, here's the link: http://lynbrown.com/?p=1096

I still haven't finished the top. I did put on a narrow black border followed by a wider white border. I'm not really fond of the white, so instead of taking it off, I going to increase the seam allowance to a 1/2" when I put on black binding and call it a day.
