Sorry about the quilt inspector.......My condolences!
Now that's a possibility.... a colourful stripe, I have some fabric hidden away somewhere for another project. Wonder if I can pinch some.

Totally awesome and the thing that makes it so is your colorful butterflies. It would just be ho-hum without them. Great idea! Don't you just love it when you have enough quiet time to be creative? Then the ideas flow and the adrenalin starts pumping. Love it. Thanks for sharing. You inspire me!

Wow Blue! The B&W blocks are stunning but the butterflies turn the whole thing into a WORK OF ART!!!! :D I think a wide black border with some vine applique and flowers in the same jewel tones with butterflies flitting in and out of them would be beautiful but you've got the 'eye' girl - whatever you decide will be fab! :D

Flattery will get you anything! lol :-)

I've gone back to the idea of a plant / vine in opposite corners. I like the idea of colourful striped fabric too, but the vine keeps sticking in my mind. Off to the lqs tomorrow to get some black and white for the outside border.
