I can't decide if I want to put a red small border around it and a bigger one after that. Still playing with it. Thanks for looking.[ATTACH=CONFIG]337153[/ATTACH]

Awesome! I never had a Storm at Sea on my list until I saw this one - now I want one too! I think a red inner border will help contain the motion of the quilt, then a larger border or maybe two, in white and black. Just audition the fabrics, take some pictures, put them all up side by side and look at them - I think it sometimes helps to have that 'second set of eyes' (the photos) to help me make up my mind.
