So I bought a border fabric, sewed one side on and again I didn't like it. Then I made this border and I like it and am keeping it.

NOW I plan to hand quilt this danged thing. 8-)

Very nicely done and the border really sets it off :)

I love it... I think the pattern has a lot of visual interest, the arrangement is really catchy and would translate well to lots of fabrics... you have a talent for quilt design!
