I don't know how to move that picture to your thread that you've started. Since I didn't want this quilt to be square, I did the appliques on the top and bottom and made a more narrow side border without the applique. I haven't quilted my second one, which has the exact same fabrics, but I did put the applique borders all the way around....just made the quilt one row of blocks longer. I'll post a picture of my second one when I get it quilted or sooner, if needs be. I don't think (in my mind's eye) that it would be a pretty in anything but black. Maybe not....just trying to visualize.

You gave this quilt a wonderful cohesion by using the same nine-patch in the center, that allows all the variation to be non-invasive, if that makes sense. It does to me. I love this quilt.
