Very nice. Did you use the small twister? I like the border too.

For everyone interested in the borders....

I took 2 1/4" colored strips, placed 3 1/2 " brown strips on either side. Cut them at 1 3/4". Arranged the colors, then began sewing them together offset, center of block with edge of next. Then I trimmed off the irregular edges at an angle to create angle of colors. This is very easy, but time consuming...and you end up working with biased edges....so startch well!!!

Here is a close up
