Okay, ladies, here is the next border. I decided that a square in a square lacked "punch" with the fabrics I had tried, so went with square in a square in a square. Probably should have stuck to original plan, but too late now. I had thought about a different corner block like the one in the HST border, but now think it would more clearly illuminate the cheater strip I had to add to make it the right size to take 6 inch block. Then I have a picture of the ribbon border that I want to use next and I realize the red is wrong and I have a couple of others to substitute. Let me know what you think. Should I proceed with the ribbon after adding the sq in sq in sq or other thoughts??? I am getting excited to put the final border on this and call it finished. I will need something else after the ribbon because that will not be quite as big as I want it to be. So for your critiquing (gently, I am sure):

[ATTACH=CONFIG]471230[/ATTACH] I will use the red that surrounds the green hourglass block (with a twist) for the ribbon. The one I have is too red or something. Also have a green shimmer that might work there as well that matches the inside of the hourglass border. Also have other greens and creams that could be used. Thoughts? Seeing that little strip of white between the border and the last row got me to thinking. I pulled them apart and added some more white in there (would have to figure how to make it come out), but do you think it needs that as well or am I making it too hard?
