Wow! The transformation is amazing! I think stippling and feathers in the border would look nice. Please show us what you do when it's done!

This would be good. Just a thought, I dont think the quilting will show against the center, so something simple unless you plan to use both sides.

Definitely do something outstanding in the borders. The center is so busy that you are going to lose a quilt pattern. Unless you have a plain back and the quilting will show there. I am doing one for a board member and hope to be done tomorrow. I will post it then.
