Love the colors together. Just the right "pop" of color here. I see this with a magenta binding, too. Please post pics of the finished product.

I love the colours. It's beautiful!

I like it looks good with the contrasting color

I like it, I think I would bind it with the fuschia too. However, I would lay it around first to see the effect.

Honestly I would have never really noticed, we all do things like that sometimes. :-(

If you are talking about the middle strips (braid), you have five, so I think it looks fine. The side strips won't make that much difference unless it bothers you.

What you done about the border colours looks fine. Keep up the wonderful work of art of yours..

so, sew, beautiful!

I didn't know there was a "rule" about how the strips had to go....I think the magenta brings the whole thing to life!

I really like the magenta. If you're going with one more border around the magenta, though, I like some of your other blues better than the one you have it sitting on. Just my opinion though.
