Latest update...

I actually have this mostly put together, but have not taken pictures since I started assembling. I wanted to let you all know what I have decided on, and see what you think. So.... what do you think? :lol:

Even though I added updated photos, it did not seem to raise it in the list... it is buried! :cry: I need your support and opinions, please! Thus, trying again to "bump" it up the list a bit! :lol:

Nice choice, I am looking forward to seeing it all sewn together.

I LOVE IT !!!!!!!
I think your color choices are great.
Looking forward to more pics.

Okay... so the center is all put together. Here is what I am thinking for the borders. I don't have enough of the uncut fabric to go on the sides, and think that would be too much anyway. I have coordinating green with buttons, as well as the other sashing candidates. I am thinking the red will be the binding, as well as (possibly) an outer border. Opinions, please!!

ok... time to sheepisly admit that I am sitting here, hoping for someone to tell me I am not nuts so I can go finish that quilt! :oops: :roll: :lol:

Someone reply soon, please, so this neurotic quilter can get back to work! (hehehe)

I'm still not liking that blue. I think the fabric on the top and bottom would work. I often do this because I don't like making square quilts or I need more length. I am not sure about the buttons fabric. I know it is coordinating fabric, but I can't tell from the picture if it distracts from the blocks. Maybe a narrow border of this. I like the red for a border and/or binding. Do you have more of the cream? yellow? that you used on the blocks for one of the borders. I really like that color with the main fabric.

Well, digging through my "scraps", I found I do have enough of the "imagine the possibilities" to go all the way around, so here is another slight variation for the borders. I think if you could see the "true" colors, you would like the blue more, and I agree that the green buttons may not be a great match. I am almost completely out of the gold, but may be able to pick up more. I am just not sure that the quilt can handle much more of that.... I will certainly give it more thought!

That said, here is the next thought.

Thanks again for all your help and input!!! :lol:

Ok, have decided to go back to "KISS" (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). I will use the fabrics shown in the last picture EXCEPT for the button fabric. I will post pictures when it is done ~ hopefully later today.

Thanks again for everyone's help and encouragement!!
