I agree... love the black.

I have that on my ever growing list LOL Yours came out lovely. Just got back from Mackinac Island and the colors are a true representation of the colors used at the Grand Hotel.

The quilting on your donation quilt is spectacular.

Beautiful, beautiful quilt. Love the colors. I would put a small black border and then add a larger border of the black print so your colors in the quilt pop. The size of the border would depend on what size you need your finished quilt to be. Seventy-nine inches wide is not a very wide quilt in relation to the length of it.

Both quilts are awesome! Great job

Gorgeous! I really love it. IMHO I think a simple, thin black border is all that you need.

I agree with Faspedal. Love the black border.

Nice quilts.

I love how these quilts came out! It does look very difficult to a newbie like me though. I'm just now getting used to making HST. LOL....Your quilt is just beautiful!
