Rhonda Lee, Welcome! Sounds like you'll fit right in with all of us! I, too, have an Orca Bay center that is awaiting borders. Have decided I can give myself permission to simplify the border once it comes to the top of the UFO list. I made it smaller just to get it done and use what I had sewn already when I picked it up to work on. Good for you for shopping from stash!

Narnian, I can't tell exactly from the pic, is that a medallion-style quilt with the symbol in the center and then border? When you say outline, do you mean quilting around the central motif? Will you echo quilt out from there to fill up the backround? Im no good at FMQ, but I have had some luck sewing a presser foot distance around and around to fill up the backround. OOOO, that wasnt very well put! It ends up looking like ripples on a pond from a stone drop. My son would love that quilt!
