(However you did that?)

Now there's one more thing that I'd do to complete the "picture" ........... put the floral print on both sidees of the dark blue in the bottom left corner. Likewise a single floral print at the point of the chains bottom right and top left to complete them. The rest of that row all around would be done the same, with white in between. Then the solid white as done by Mom3.

This quilt is spectacular!

I like #1. Are you going to miter the border print? That would look great on this fabulous quilt.
peace

EDIT: post #30 is perfect!

A;White strip between two blue check strips and mitered corners would be my choice.

I love your fabric choices. I like the way sample number one goes further out and then be sure to miter your corners on the outside border. Beautiful quilt.
