I had other plans to start with but was having issues with the fabric, so I had DD#1 go up the ladder to see what she could find, and this is what she came back down with. I hope that everyone likes it.

Edited to say: The more I look at the more I like it. How the colors in the border also go around each corner is wonderful.

What a relief, I was worried that you wouldn't like it, I thought the fabric prefect as it seemed to have every color that you used, I was worried about the original plan as it had black and I figured that matching the black would be hard, this seemed to work on all counts. I liked how I managed to mostly get the colors at the corners to come pretty close to matching up.

I cut four strips even though had I pieces them I could have used three, and then played with them until I was happy with the way that they matched up, they are not quiet perfect, I would have been happier to have a bit more yellow in the one corner there. But it was fun, and it didn't take near as long as the first plan that I had, so it all worked out!

Thank you so much, It was the first sewing that I really have done in a few weeks,
I was just looking back, did you post a picture yet? I was thinking that you had and I can't seem to find it,

Thanks everyone,
Had I gone shopping the odds are that I wouldn't have found anything that went so well with it, I will have to shop more on my shelf. DD#1 helped sort and put a lot of the fabric up there so she knows a lot of what is up there, I am not sure if she knew that it was there or guessed, it didn't take her but a moment to find it anyway. it also made it easy to do as it didn't need more than a strip, no piecing required for it. :D

CB....It looks fantastic! That fabric is absolutely perfect for the center, your DD is really good...is she a quilter yet??? I agree with you..I don't think you could have found a better match if you went shopping either! I might have to come shop in your stash... ;)
