Do you have more of the fabric for the square printed blocks that has all the colours? It'd work too!
Thanks for the compliment about the rust fabric. I started to work on this quilt the day before Mothers day, while my son was away. On Mothers day, he gave me a few fat quarters from JoAnn's, including the rust. I was so pleased that he got me fabric that I decided right then I would work the rust into the quilt. I didn't have enough to do a full border, so I settled on framing just the corners!! Improvisation! However, I can go to JoAnn's and see if they sell that fabric on the bolt.
I don't have enough of the large focus fabric for a border, but I know the manufacturer and could buy online in a heart beat.
Thanks for all ideas!
