Krista, Prism99, Alfonsa421, Karen, Allison and Gail,
Thank you all so much for your creative comments. The juice is flowing now. I like the suggestion of quilting around the circles with wavy lines or circles using black thread. This sounds dramatic and will tie in with the black binding. Just got to figure out how to get my Brother to do the quilting. I hope I have the right presser foot. The top is a good size for a baby blanket so I think I will leave the border off and just do the binding. I like the idea of using polka dot fabric for the back. Oh, one other thing which I need to look into: how to personalize/sign the quilt on the back. I know there are post on the QB about this so I'll check this out.
I'll post some pics as soon as I finish which should be in the next few days.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
