Well, Patti, my applique idea didn't pan out. But that's okay. I think it wouldn't have been the best thing for this round. I've been stumped by the geometry of your center, but just came across the perfect plan for a border. Now I have to figure out the math. Your center is 25 1/2" across (26" w/seam allowances). For a 5" border, the measurements don't come out even there so I'll have to tweak things a bit, but I'm so excited to have a plan! Hooray!
