look here to follow along....http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-85227-1.htm
So, I went out to try and find some more of the black with wavy spots (which I did find) to make the first border black as everyone suggested (thank you BTW). I was also looking for the material as the the small center blocks (see pic 2) and for some more of the striped one and was not able to find them. Now I did see more of theses two just a few months ago...but...as you know when you want it it's gone. I went to Joann's and Hancock's and did not see anything else I liked but the picture of the red, black, white flame looking one. I will have to look and the LQS and see what they have in reds, black and whites.
Ladies your mission (because you guys are so great at finding things) if you choose accept it is to help me locate more of the stripes (David textiles) and the multi flower (legacy studios). I have already looked and did not find anything.
I have also attached pics of possible borders, which one do you like??

Multi flower, I have 23 inches left
[ATTACH=CONFIG]149334[/ATTACH]
option #4, stripes will be binding
[ATTACH=CONFIG]149335[/ATTACH]
option #5 ( not really liking the the flame thing)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]149336[/ATTACH]
border option #1, strips will be the binding...this is the one I keep going back to, I am liking this one
[ATTACH=CONFIG]149337[/ATTACH]
Stripes, I have 35 inches left
[ATTACH=CONFIG]149347[/ATTACH]
option #3..binding will be the same as the last border.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]149352[/ATTACH]
option #2, stripes will be binding, or maybe no stripes at all?

No, the stripes wouldn't match the last border if it is the wider black and white print. I guess then #2 would be the one I prefer. I was confused by the stripe being in the middle of the other borders, thought you planned to use it as a border and binding too.
I use mitered corners often, and like the way they look, but some shy away from them.

Well, now you have me concerned about the backing. I know you have yardage for this already, but I'm thinking the floral backing is a bit too feminine. Maybe you could use that backing for something else and go with maybe a solid black, gray, or red for the backing of this one.
