Here's the deal. I am trying to finish up UFO's I had these blocks I did a while back. So got this far and am at a stand still.(yes I got help with the inner border) :-)
My idea was to finish it off with a scalloped border with purple binding with more applique in the border.
I have spent 3 whole days trying to figure this out. Its just not looking right. Haven't been able to figure out what to applique in the border... got as far as thinking about using the center flower on the block but was stumped on how to tie them together. Tried different kinds of leaves, a vine type thing, tried different flower based on the bigger part of the block.
Now the width of the border is looking wrong.
Have I just been looking at it too long? Should I do a straight border and forget the scallop ? Should I do the scallop and forget the applique?
ACK !!!!!

I am finishing up the UFO's I have and I am NEVER doing a quilt again unless I have it all planned out. I have so many of these it's insane!
