Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Fraew, the choice is yours! The contrast with the black does make the rest of the blocks stand out better. No way would I go to all the work of replacing those squares though!
Candi, you did a great job on that top and bottom border, such a beautiful quilt! Congrats on being finished! What a great feeling that is to finish a quilt. I have four more B blocks to complete and I can start putting mine together.

Candi- I love that border and your colors. So fun to see how different everyone's quilts are even though using the same pattern.
Oh candi! I love what you've done! What a treasure.
I am almost done removing the grey/b/w 4 patches. I will keep them and use them on the back or in something else. All of the replacement black and white squares are cut and ready to stitch up tonight! Rip rip and sew sew.
Thank you all for supporting me through this. This quilt is really trying hard to be a UFO but I will not let it get the best of me.

Very pretty quilt Sharyn! I also have a few cut off points, and places that are not 100% lined up. I'm sure no one will notice though, so I really don't sweat it! I have 3 more B blocks to complete - then can start putting them all together!

I *LOVE* your borders! They totally suit the quilt, fantastic job! I never would have thought of applique...Originally Posted by candi
And I am soo happy to report that after much thinking, drawing and changing my mind I came up with a border design that I am satisfied with and just finished attaching it to the quilt..so it is hot off the sewing machine lol. This is so far one of my favorite quilts I made, the colors are soo me! Thanks to Bonnie for offering this great mystery and thanks to you all for encouraging

Haven't posted on here in awhile, but I have 3 more Block B's to complete, then all my parts on completed and ready to be sewn together. Can't wait to get this one done. Plan on giving this one to my niece as a graduation gift.
First I agree, great quilt Sharyn, I checked it out on your blog. I was reading JeanieG's post after I posted and we both are on the same page with Easy Street. I have 3 B Blocks left too.
Still working on this a bit every day, but way behind most of you. I've been under the weather for about a month, and want to get more BOW material, so I've been working mainly on the blocks that don't involve that fabric.
