Thanks everyone! The fabrics I used are Batiks but Stonehenge would be stunning as well :D I did get back from Lancaster County today and found some nice fabric for borders at Burkholder's in Denver, PA. I am planning on a very small 1 inch finished very dark brown or black border as a way to finish of the pattern, then a solid rust 2 inch finished border to pull out that salmon color and then a 15 inch wide main border. The quilt is to be used as a bedspread and I have to get to a 98 x 98 size! I had originally planned on using the dark Batik from the smallest squares for my third border but unfortunately could not find it and only have 1.5 yards left. I did find something that worked and will use that 1.5 yards for binding. Definitely will post a picture when it is all done. I am a topper so this baby is definitely going to an LAQ for an overall panto.

Tomorrow I am off to Lancaster, PA to buy some border fabric :) Got to have the top done by 8/10 to get it to my LAQ!

Very nice. Your colors and the pattern work so very well together. And your doing such an outstanding job on it, it almost looks like a picture. You have done such a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing.
