    I switched it up a little and tried to get some of the lighter ones to the center, but there were a few stragglers here and there. Now what color borders, there is some medium blue, yellow, red? and I will also use some of the main fabric for a larger border. It needs pressed still.

    Gorgeous!

    Since the top is mostly reds, I would choose a medium blue or yellow for a narrow or medium border, then a wider border of the main fabric.

    Or - maybe a small blue, a narrow yellow, then a wide of the main fabric. I'm very much a hands-on and visual person and would audition as many combinations as possible, take pictures, then choose.

    Please let us see what you decide!

    It is beautiful. I think I would audition a thin black inner border.
