Well, Fabricland has a 50% off everything sale tomorrow. Based on what most of you are telling me, I think I will pick up some dark brown (there is no black in the runner - the brown is just very dark) solid fabric.

I sure wish they carried more speciality type rulers - sure would like both sizes of the twister!

That's really pretty! No border - it takes away from the rest of it.

I think I like it without the border, the Dresden plates are adorable, I think that border is too busy. I would like to see how it would look with a solid border if you decide to add one.

Even though you have used the border fabric in your dresden plates that much border in this fabric overpowers the beautiful plates. The second design really highlights the plates. If you do a border the cornerstone fabric would not detract. It will be beautiful on the white duvet. Please show us what your final choice is.

Agree...I really think a less overpowering border would frame it though.

Just MHO.

Love it but not that border...I would use a less "busy" border.

Very pretty, I would add a border. I think it would look funny on a queen sized bed at the size it is. A border would make it look bigger.

Without, without, without a doubt. (Or white to let it melt onto the duvet.)
