True and I knew that when I decided to post the question. The reason I asked is that I was really wondering if I was suffering from "overkill" as you do sometimes finishing a quilt top that's been in the works for a long time,
or if I had really made a poor choice for border fabric. Trust me when I say that I auditioned a
LOT of fabric, both for the narrow border and the wide, including solids, browns, lights, darks, mediums, etc.; nothing looked right until I put the blue that you see up against the blocks with the lt. purple or dk. lavender?? narrow border. The purple/lavender picks up the lavender tinted grey in the sashing. I have 2 cushions to go with, but am doing the binding on those yet before they get their pictures taken.
I appreciate each and every response and thank you for your time and thoughts and, most especially, for the compliments.
