That turned out nice. I like doing mystery quilts. Not always happy with the results but fun anyway.

Don't know what it looked like before but it sure is pretty now.

Very pretty now ~ would like to have seen it with the first border, too, but love it the way it is!

The first was a print that I used for my color pallet...but I did not think it added any thing to the center ... Here was the first border. Thanks for looking.

I think that was a good decision to replace the border. Such a difference!

Good choice! The new border really sets it off and it is a beautiful quilt!!!

The first wasn't horrible but your last choice is definitely best, IMHO, worth the effort to replace it.
