Never thought of the blanket under it for the border!! LOL But it could work, except that is hubby's favorite blanket and don't think he will let me use it anywhere except on his bed!!! lol

What do you think...he is going to get it anyway but for my next scrappy quilt maybe I should not get so "messy"!

Love it! Can a scrappy really be too scrappy? He wanted "messy" so that is what he will get. Well not really because it doesn't look messy, it looks great. I love the white paper birch fabric, would love to get my hands on some of that! If you have a copy of or can get your hands on a copy of Eleanor Burns log cabin book (possibly the Orion Star one) it has a ton of different layouts in it and you can play with them until you are happy. Good luck. I can't wait to see how you put it together.
