    Looks great, I keep thinking about one of these but haven't done it yet! Can't wait to see the border you use.

    It's great and I think the burgundy border will go very well, especially if it is the same fabric as in the dark squares.

    Great job! I love the color combinations. You can be very proud of this. Let us see it when it is finished.

    I would do another one!! Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Lol. Painstaking but easy.

    I did mine in sections. I needed 48 arcs so I did all 48 at once. Then I joined them all to the ovals. The first two are always slower, but then you get the hang of it and then you're just flying through them.

    It takes longer to pin everything then it does to sew it lol

    I guess you have it done, but here's my opinion anyway.
    I would have put a very narrow burgundy border, a same size white border and then a large border of either burgundy or your print if you had enough.
