Marcia....oh that many ribbons was nice but there was a three way tie on several of them....sure did make me feel good...DH is always telling me oh that one is going to the fair....So guess I'll enter what I can....it was fun and I was shocked last year....don't know if I can top that....some of the Quilt police where there moning about something last year .....guess someone beat them out.....

mgshaw....I wanted it to be Queen size....it is 74 x 90 right now ....so I think one more row will do fine....the block is 12 1/2....think that will put me where I need to be...just gotta go get more fabric....oh darn....:-)

hmmm, i've been thinking all along a big burgandy border would be gorgeous, but nobody else said it, so i got shy lol lol. You could do more blocks, but i really think a 4" border or 6" would frame it so nice...but whatever you decide, it is gorgeous!!! :)

mgshaw....that is what DH wants me to do....I thought about that and seen it on other quilts and didn't like it....I even thought about adding more of the dark and just radumily place a few petals like a broken plate....but wasn't keen on that....so think making 5 more blocks will work....Thanks for your input.....I really appreciate it!
Barb M.....That's a good idea too...but when I put it up against the quilt it don't suit me either....if I can get another charm pack I'll make another row....Thanks for your help
