was just re-reading some of the replies.
I know you are going to put smaller cherries in the border.
I like that idea. For the center, what if you put pins straight thru the cherry on back so the points (of pins) would show you where to mark on the front, and then echo that. Just an idea. I wouldn't do anything to take away from the beauty that is already there. This is just one of those quilts that will surpass time. It's simple in design, but the fabrics and the cherries have struck a chord that most of us relate to. It's like de ja vu or something. Familiar and friendly. :D
