I just finished my center. It is Irises and Lions from quilterscache.com. Current size is 18 1/2" square. Not the same contrast as in the sample on the website, but I still like it. Others mentioned maybe making this block too...can't wait to see different variations!
I will think on the 1st border and probably test a couple squares in the next few days. Need to work on the Alabama block for the 50 Fabulous Stars BOW now.
Ok, I had to look at the sample borders again and am pretty sure I will do jaba's 1st option...that will give me an effect of a red border. Now to decide what other color...suggestions? I am thinking maybe the gold or light green.
