Thank you all so much for your kind words! It means alot to me to know I can come to a place and get support from wonderful people like you all!

I've decided I'm going to do a flying geese border using black as the base and all the colors in the quilt as the corners. I think that will really put the finishing touch on it. Then I will do black for the binding.

Beautiful job on your what...1st quilt????? I'm not sure I believe that, but you did great with it. If you are going to do the FG...I really like that idea...do you have a favorite or preferred way to do them? I did tons for a quilt this year and I found Paper piecing to be the easiest for me. Good luck and continue to have fun with it, I think it will look great with FG!

My mother-in-law was my inspiration to start quilting and I got all my block patterns from quilterscache.com.

Your quilt turned out beautifully - no one would ever think this is your first quilt. I'm not sure what I'd do for a border. I like the idea about using colors from your block with black. Share the photo when you finish!

Your idea for the border sounds great. I'm sure htat will finish it off and bring all the units together.

Keep up the good work.
