I meant to ask earlier -- where did you find the pattern??? And what size are your blocks?

that is so pretty and I vote for the lower right for the border, or just a really flowery border with one fabric. Just a thought. Let us know what you decide. :)

The squares are 4" and then I sewed 16 together to make 16" blocks so I can still move them around until I get the look that I want!

Great job so far! I vote for the bottom-left border. Sort of a Seminole look to it. It should set all your hard work off beautifully.

I don't do the big quilts but I have used this alot in my hotpads. You will have to imagine it in a full quilt. This is one of my "Blocks" done with my cut down method which does make it more accurate.

Ninnie that is sooo cool! I can't wait to see what you do with the borders. Do you have lots of those little mini's ready? I was wondering what the upper right one would look like if you put the white in the center. Can you show us more. Like 3 of each lined up? Am I making more work for you? :mrgreen:
