I finally finished the main part of the top this morning. As much as i disliked the individual blocks and how busy they are when I was piecing them, putting them together with sashing between has changed their feel, and I actually like it now. The busy actually works in my favor, it's hard to notice where some of my flying geese points don't quite line up, and other mistakes.
The last photo are my options for the inner border. Hard to see in the white on white, but one is a dot and one is a larger damask print. I am planning on doing a repeat of the inner border outside the HST border, but I don't have enough of the flower print or the darker tan to do more than the inner border. I used a curated bundle, so I also don't have enough of any of the neutrals to make it from one fabric, and I don't want to buy more. Opinions, please
