I love the border fabric. I chuckled when you said you had fat quarters left over because that is how I ended up with so much fabric scraps and fat quarters. I have been quilting for 40 years and I can't remember how items I have quilted. I would buy the required amount of fabric, make a sample block and realize that 1 or 2 of the fabrics just didn't work, so back to the fabric store for more fabric.
