After receiving so many excellent ideas and words of encouragement from the good people on this board, I tore the top down to the middle square and went at it again. I am happy with the result...still a WIP - lol. Thought I would share the photos with you. Pics are a bit dark, but you get the idea.
The first pic shows the top as it is now, the second is with the two fabrics I am considering for a final, fat border.
The border will be on all four sides of course.
I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas....

Thanks!

I like the one on the right. Nice work!

GOOD JOB!! You did great correcting the problem !! Congratulations! I love it. I like the right pink border better than the left.

I like the one on the righ, flowers look a little to big for me way to go!!

Yes, the one on the right works...

nice save. it was ok before, now it is lovely. i think it was worth the effort, don't you. love the left border.

I definately like the camo best!

I have to agree with most everyone else....the border on the right. Great job with your correction.

The one on the right, flowers to big.

Hi, I like the big soft roses on the LEFT for your border, then use the one on the right for your Binding.

It looks great!!! I'd go with the border on the right as well! 'Can't wait to see the finished product!

like the right one best

looks great - i'd go for the border on the right

floral

What a save! I love it! I like the camo on the right the best.

I like the camo also.

I love the floral. Something about the size makes me want to go with it.

I too like the floral...nice job on the remake!

Camo, it is a better match to the pink. You did a wonderful job.

Camo - really pretty!

Looks great, awesome job!

nice job i like one on right other is too busy

It's lookin really nice...I like the camo

I like the border on the right...it matches the fabric in the ribbon, right?

It is stunning - so beautiful! :thumbup:

It looks great - would never know that you thought is was a disaster. I like the camo for the wide border, and in case you were asking :D I would bind with black.

on the right for me, too.

My vote is for the camo too.

Neat quilt! Looks great with either!

I like Camo nice work

It appears that you used the camo for the ribbon in the middle. I think it will accent the ribbon more if you use the camo for the border as well. It looks nice so far!

Love the camo fabric. You did a great job "fixing" the quilt. It's beautiful!

At first I went for floral but then realized center was camo and decided on it.....but they are both gorgeous with it no matter which way you go.

I love the floral...somehow with the pink ribbon I think floral goes better than camo. More feminine. Great job on the top so far.

Definitely the camo!! That is a beautiful quilt!! NIce job!!

Looks great!

Am I alone here..... love the fabric on the LEFT.... and agree use one on right
for your binding.

Nice work!

I like the one on the right as it looks to be the same as the ribbon. Do you have enough of the roses to use them as the backing?
