Oh...for the inner border I am going very simple. I do have that bright orange that I'm using and I think I will just do a plain border..I will be adding either a flange or piping of a shimmery cream. so....it will be simple as I think the blocks and the trapunto are fancy enough for the center section.
LOL...yes, Lesley...thats what DH says..."you just can't leave well enough alone, can you??? " LOL!

Hi Kathy!
I am in NY. I have not decided to hand or machine embroider it. I want to hand embroider it, but my stitches are not good enough yet. I am making Esther the Easter Chicken to practice on. Someone on the board had her and I fell in love.
I am planning on 7 inch blocks and queen sized, but i think enlarging the blocks would be more practical. So my mind is not set. I love the cream colored sateen!
Thanks for writing :)

If we all stayed with the status quo, the world would still be flat.
Not "my" saying, but I so agree.
You have to change things up, bc it is so inspiring for those around you...tell dh it is your job to do that, lol!
