I found my center. It's a piece my MotherInLaw did. I plan on using her stash to do all the borders. It will be for a sisterinlaw. It's not bright and colorful like all y'all's and I have NO clue which border to start with. Any suggestions will be appreciated. The picture measures 12". And I only need to make her a wall hanging size.

SheriR maybe if the colors are there, (in mother in laws stash) use your sister in laws favs to do the wall hanging.

I think if it were me, I'd put a small border around it first either in light or dark shades, actually maybe a lighter shade of purple because of it being light. Kind of to just draw attention to the candlewicking. Then go ahead with the triangles that you like and use maybe a little darker purples and even draw some of the lighter shade in there too. Think it would look nice from light, dark, light....kind of always bringing it back to her center and then bind with a color as close as you can get to the center to make the eye travel back to it. Might help if you pull the fabrics and just lay out pieces around the center for your color in rounds. I do that all the time and it helps me to decide most of the time. Even stand across the room and look at it too 'cause other people will.

jaba I finally got an hourglass one to finish up at 4 1/2" square..now I have a pile of hour glasses of varying sizes & colours. I think my problem was my seam widths...I did a lot of measuring them & marking my machine before I finally got it right. Thanks for your help...greatly appreciated.

Jenniky, beautiful round that is going to be. I'm with Emma in rethinking this whole design process, have gotten tired of all the BOM's with different blocks & then trying to put them together with a different interesting setting. Same ole same ole gets tiring. This is how we move forward in our quilting, trying new!

That candle wick center is lovely. I like the idea of the ribbon border after a (couple?) narrow framing strip(s). Definitely do not want the borders to overwhelm that center!
