Thank you - thank you all for all the suggestions and compliments.I went with what most of you suggested and what I felt in my gut would look best....adding more blocks to the sides. I guess I felt reluctant to start working on 12 more blocks. But that's exactly what I did yesterday/last night and I actually enjoyed doing them. I think that was because I had a two week break since the retreat where I worked on them night and day. They are all done and pinned into my two rows....ready to go. Have a family reunion to go to today but hopefully I'll get them sewn together and put on tonight and then make up my mind about a border.
I will keep you updated and thanks again for all your help.
