I think that beautiful BuzzinBumble Kaffe quilt with the diamonds is (DEFinitely not de-Kaffe love your pun) really gets a kick from the chevrons. My experience of them in LQS was just the plain white, plain color. Wow!
Now I get the border idea, duh, Sue. I would definitely do it to heat up a Swoon quilt - border and maybe do a fussy-cut cornerstone thing. Hmmm.
