I have a question...How do we feel about non symmetrical borders? By this I mean a border that is not the mirror image of itself all the way around. I have a thought on a very pretty border I have seen on a few asian quilts, but have not seen anyone do this in the RR's here. Thoughts please? I'll try and find a photo of what I'm talking about.
(the center will still be centered and have the same size border all around)
Hope you understand this...I think I've confused myself!

I'd love to see a photo so I can picture it. If you think it will fit on mine and an idea just pops right in your head, go for it...I'm game. Would love to see something different.

I think an non-symetrical border would be great...at least on mine so if you want to do one like that, I say go for it. I can picture it in my mind, mainly because I have seen the outer borders on some quilts done that way with an applique flower on opposite corners of the border. I think it would be cool and perhaps the next person could do the same except on opposite corners. Just a thought but I like the idea.

tlambing I will be shipping yours on its way Tuesday also. Did my round today. Since you said you liked brown, thought every quilt needs a little chocolate and then matched the blue in your center. Hope you like it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]433533[/ATTACH]Need to iron it a little better but wanted to show you. Don't be shy, if you don't like it let me know, I can take it off real easy and start anew.
