Finished my last column of the main "body" of the quilt. Now on to the borders and binding. I took it all to work w/ me today to lay it out and decide on borders (I have a small house and no place to layout a whole quilt) I am excited really like how it has turned out both front and back. The even better news is I just have to make 3 more tri recs. I took pics of it laid out w/ the border but can't post it until I get home from work tomorrow.

Not finished w/ my version of En Provence yet, but have made some progress. The main body is completely finished, here is a pic of the front and back. Then there is a pic of how I am planning on doing the borders, and a close up of the planned borders. I only have to make 3 additional tri rec squares.

I love it, Kassaundra! It really turned out great; love how the back looks, too.
Mine second colorway is a big disappointment. It's just so weird looking with the blue background. I'm doing a small version (2x3), and have been working on a border I thought might help counteract the blue effect, but I'm afraid it's beyond saving. My machine needs servicing, but I'm hoping I can finish up with this first.

Have you posted a pic? I don't remember seeing it if you did. Maybe you could quilt heavily the blue areas you don't like w/ a colored thread specifically to alter the perceived color of the fabric

I went back and looked, blue brown, cheddar and green? I see what you mean, they are a bit "choppy" looking. I would have been tempted to rearrange all the pieces into a different arrangement.
