Ok, I just ordered the "velvet" in black for the 10" border all the way around. it will also be 10" around on the back to obtain size I need. I am QAYG. I have decided to change the corner stones to this too. So it should all balance out. Can't wait until I can get to a point to show some layout photos. A couple of the images are still up in the air. The binding will be the same green I used for the sashing.

Every get to the "there is no return" point and start seriously doubting decisions you have made. Things such as layout, fabrics used, etc. Ugh.. Feeling overwhelmed. I guess I'm just not feeling this one being there are so many dark colors. That and I'm not liking the images he has chosen but it is his quilt.. I will make it the way he wants. I am also kicking myself for using that sheet for the backing and inner borders... Just trying to make due with what I had on hand. I'm sure we can all relate to money being tight at some point or another.
