thanks everyone! i got a 1" bright pink border put on and will attempt to get the other on in the morning.

julie - how did you quilt yours? all over, around the flip flops, in the ditch?

would love to see your picture! it's so easy to do. or e-mail it to me and i'll post it here for you!

I hand-quilted an outline stitch around the flip-flops, and machine quilted in the ditch for the rest. I'll get the picture posted when my hubby gets home soon to help me. I have this fear that I will blow up the computer if he's not close by! :roll:

I think it looks great as a border.

I love the border you have with it, and I was going to suggest a 1" border to off set it, but you're ahead of me.

Be sure to pre-wash the border.

funny you said that. i found a bright pink floral border in my stash and at the last minute before cutting i remembered it hadn't been prewashed! didn't take long. the light blue border was prewashed when the rest of it was.

thanks for looking out for me everyone!

I thought, at first that you had purchased a kit because the fabrics look so good together!
There are so many different fabrics used now a days, I think its a matter of personal taste.

oooh this quilt is making me wish my trip to Cuba was closer!!!

Have you gotten enough affirmations yet? It looks Mah-velous!!!

You use whatever fabric you like!!! Great choice! And I have seen this pattern finished with beads and ribbon trim popping out as the straps on the flip flops. Not really washable that way, but it sure was cute!

oooh what an awesome embellishment idea!
