My first idea was to have the same border that I have here, except with little squares on point running through the center beige strip, but that ended up looking too busy, the focus should be more on the center. Plus I had this really awesome brown leaf print fabric with bits of beige and the colours worked great with the safari print in the center, but looking at it after, the leaf print looked out of place.
Second try, plain borders, but with a 9 patch corner stone, but that looked funny too because the rest of the squares in the center are all on point...
*sigh* Now, my latest attempt is this one here. I wanted to go and get that orange from the center and bring it out in the border, ( I love orange!) but I think it would look better in a larger border, farther from the center. SOOOOOO...
Here goes nothing, tell me HONESTLY what you think. I still have the rest of the day and tomorrow morning until 3 to change anything you don't like about this.
I also felt the need to show you all the painting that's on my living room wall, so you can see how well this quilt would go in my living room... *hint, hint* Ok, I'm just kidding about that, but so far the colours really do look great with my living room, lol!

OK Mel, here it is! I got it today!
The flying geese are 3d-done the Ricky Timms way. And I had to laugh, the bubble fabric is the same fabric I used on Grandpa's quilt!!
One of the photos was taken with the center flat on the floor, the other was with it hanging.
