Also, I'm not sure how to quilt the body of it. Would an allover stipple be right?
I had a strip left over that was too narrow for my quilt, so I'm making a small wall hanging.
As soon as I figure out how to get pictures here, I will post some of what I've done so far.
Thanks in advance for any input....and BTW, I'm loving this fabric and OBW!

I like the idea of the narrow inner, for the outer I'd say pick your favourite colour from the fabric and go with that - I'm tending towards the turquoise myself, I think I've got some batik that is the right shade. :-D Re the quilting, I often just do a wide meander over the body of the quilt - they're so 'busy' I think this is fine. But I've also done a kind of hooked swirl freehand (on Orchidacious that I posted recently) and I've seen some feathered freehand as well which were also cool! Looking forward to seeing your pics! :-D
