Got the first row done...I will make 3x3 with my own added borders. I used the black for the corner squares & it toned it down alot. I used the inspiration fabric for the quilt in the center & it will also be the outer border. I will used the black as inner border so the eye can stop. I will use leftovers top & bottom for an extra row each to make it longer. Luckily I used a lighter shade of green. The 2nd pic is the square & shows the fabrics alittle better. The last pic is the actual inspiration fabric. I think doing it this way will be more pleasing to my eye. I will work more slowly on it now, though, cuz I have several baby quilts I need to get made before mid-Feb. I will keep watch on the thread in the meantime to see everyone's finishes & post my finish when done; though it may be a few months till that's done...
