Would that be large enough? You could reverse the teal and purple borders (wider teal border, narrower purple).
Thanks, PaperPrincess. I'm trying to stick to my stash for this one...I have enough of the purple for a narrow border (about the same as the black sashing). The teal polka dot was a rescue material (one of my favorites) and virtually every piece is already in the quilt. I do have enough of the teal with purple flowers for a wide border. I'll have to lay it out and see what it looks like and of course, my daughter will get a say so.
