    Your too kind my friend, I know the fabric I need but I think that Makower have stopped producing it - it's called "Ombre Texture" the site I used to buy if from can no longer get it. I like to use this particular one as its cut as a long quarter so you always get from very very light to very dark variation in colour.
    I'll keep looking & when I find it I'll let you know, thanks for the offer though Loretta I really do appreciate it. :D

    Loretta!
    This is gorgeous! May I please play too? I would love to have a copy to try it.

    I think it would be good to go with your first instinct of the black border. At least audition it first to see if it is going to give you the effect you want it to. But it sounds pretty.

    p.s.) I pm'ed you.

    Tisha, You did a beautiful job for your first try. I would love to have the patterns and give it a try myself. Don't give up on one. Could be a WIP and eventualy a quilt itself. Then if it doesn't work then make pillows or something out of it. But I could see you making a beautiful wall hanging or quilt out of it. Keep the spirit going.

    I would do the same green as the border so that focus stays on the beautiful flower. You do great work!

    It's beautiful. Personally, I would do a thin black border, as long as the wall is not a dark color, but think that it would make the french knots stand out. love it!
