Finally got the top together, just have to decide on the borders. It measures 65 X 76, it needs to measure at least 84 x 90 after quilting & binding. Now my questions are, 1. How much extra width & length do I need to figure in for quilting (the quilting makes it shrink up a bit doesn't it?) 2. I was thinking 3 borders, a narrow green border, a purple border and a light blue border. But in what order? I have attached pictures of 2 blue fabrics I have, but will need to buy another purple & a green.

Love the optical illusion of curved piecing
