Thanks to all for the great suggestions and advice. I have printed out the entire quilt top from EQ7 in its actual size and will use that to plan the quilt. I haven't decided on the black bias tape yet--I figure I'll see how it looks once I've got everything in place. It might be too mature, as some of you suggested, or it might have that coloring book look, which would be nice. I will post pictures once it gets going.
Thanks again!
