Tartan ... nothing is too difficult for Mary Katherine!

MK ... funny thing I was thinking much like Tartan!
First of all, any chance that you could get more of the same OBW fabric? Lens has good sales on again. Another thought for the picket fence ... green grass in behind it. Here's some I bought for this project

See post #27 and 139.
The green grass has a little metallic in it ... and of course, that is, if by chance it's the right green for you. The photo does NOT show the IRL colour well. Lens had LOTS Of it when I bought it.

Or of course .... you could avoid the re-design issue and NOT enlarge the quilt, and make a new one!
