    My 22-month granddaughter added that design element and we just had to keep it for her Momma. Maybe I should always include the little one in this step of a project...

    Great! Great! I am so glad to see you were able to use some of the checker border. Its such a sweet addition to the original and I like the falling blocks also. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

    That was a LOT of work taking the first one apart to salvage what you did.

    How about a "string" border between sollid color strips?

    I was leaning towards this approach, but my daughter said that she just wanted a single predominantly teal fabric...I think I found the perfect fabric (well, actually, it was my eagle-eyed husband who spotted it...). I showed it to my daughter and she loves it and it will work well with a plain black binding. I should have it done by tomorrow and will likely have it to the long armer by this weekend...though there is still the back to consider...

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions, comments and compliments...they are all appreciated.

    How about a random size piano key border. Make the border 2 times the size of the black border. Then finish with a black border and a black or scrappy binding. Luann
