This quilt pattern is called "Blueberries & Key Lime Pie" by Klaudeen Hansen. It calls for just one border, the stripe. I don't think I'll like that so was thinking of a small black border first and then not sure. I don't have enough length of the stripe without adding something to it ( I should have cut the borders before cutting the strips around the center of the blocks). Any suggestions?
