Thank you. Thanking each of you for all the helpful suggestions. I like the idea of using brown thread in the peach stars to tie it in with the rest. I have enough fabric in peach to make the thinner border.
No, I will not be quilting it myself. all this is a 1st time for me and don't want to spoil it. So I will have to find someone to quilt it I suppose. Will have to understand the costs of course. I'm retired now !!!!!
