The fabric you have chosen is gorgeous and bearisgray pointed out that you had matched the border strips, which I had failed to notice, but fantastic design element. I might do SID every other strip on the quilt blocks, then maybe a cable or cross hatching in the border, but there are lots of options. I am afraid I am a SID and straight line machine quilter, haven't gotten my big girl panties in other types of quilting, but I'm trying to get brave enough to just go for it.
