Yes....You have a Great Plan! :thumbup: The track border would be perfect! My thought exactly after seeing your pic.

I love the train track idea..but since when is a track streight? You could make a double track on each side with a turn...or how about senery on the sides... barn...or the depot? trees? Its your quilt...so whatever you want to create goes. Nothing is ever wrong..its an origional : )

It makes sense that a "railroad" be only on the sides! Think about it. The track doesn't go sideways behind the train!

This sounds just right to me.
