Hi Sis I agree the floral is nice, but it would be too much with this pattern either a solid border, or it doesnt really need a border as it is nice as is and a solid color for the backing. the floral will be nice for a nother quilt on its own, and what makes you think we are going to have time to go quilt shopping in Nashville, we will be busy sightseeing.... Cant wait to get to Minnesota.
