So I am thinking, even though I don't really want to,lol, I am going to make more blocks..unless I can think of a border idea. Right now though I am tired of this quilt and no even sure I like it, so I am going to keep thinking on it while I work on a different project.

Candi: Looks great! Just momentarily I though about making mine bigger by adding blocks. It was just a fleeting moment of insanity and I was able to overcome it. My quilt is destined to be a throw. I am not making more of those flying geese. You were so brave with your color choices and they blend and flow so nicely. I was far more conservative in my color choices (green & purple). I am right where you are; ready to put the two borders on and call the top finished.
