I think the kids are kind of used to me bringing home animals that are only going to have short lives, or need extra care, they're a little more "cie la vie" than I am. I fight tooth and nail against mother nature, determined not to let her win. She always does though.

I am thinking I may put a simple flower with a couple of green leaves in the bottom corner of the border, and a few more butterflys, to finish it off.
I'd best go get dressed and get some housework done first! :-)

Ooooooooooooooh- I really like the butterflies. Perfect dashes of color. I like the idea of continuing the sashes into the border and adding a final dash of black on the outside - and a few splashes of flowers - like you're talking about in the bottom corner - butterflies LOVE some flowers. Is it K3 who is our Floral guru? Someone is bound to have a few flower suggestions.
Blue - you've taken the pressure off all the rest of us - now no one has to hurry to be the first one to finish a quilt from the black and white blocks :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: We didn't even hae time to catch our breath :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's been a while since I've had such a clear picture of what I want in my head, I couldn't risk mucking around and having it disappear! ;-)
I have no more black and white fabric, I'll have to go get some. But I'm thinking nothing too busy, and a very simple flower / plant design, strong lines nothing dainty. ??
