it goes nicely with the center. question if everyone adds a border that big these quilts could become huge in no time.. I forgot but if quilt is set on point then added too does that lose one extra border then? I am a moron sometimes when it comes to remember what rules go to what swap. Don't get me wrong it is perfect for the block but how big will it get in the end? and also do you want all batiks on that center? or is regular fabric going to work with it too? I messed up a while back and used both and got a waffle look to the edge ..wavy? help you quilt experts before I do the wrong thing!!!
