Wow everybody.....Thank you soooo much for your compliments, words of inspiration, and suggestions. I did make it for a male friend whose fav color is blue and he loves the water/fishing and the quiet of the night, so in addition to the batiks, there is fabric that looks like water and some with stars. I have four pieced fish that I was thinking of using as corner blocks in the border. This is based on a pattern from the book Batik Beauties by Laurie Shifrin. The book suggested different layouts, but I came up with this one. I tend to like symmetry and flow. I will keep working on this and will be sure to post the final outcome!! I LOVE this board....I'm on here everyday and am just so inspired by and appreciate you all!!!
