Nice quilt, great for the couch. I vote for the turquoise.

If you have enough fabric, I'd go with the patterned fabric that you used in your quilt top (not the plaid). It coordinates very nicely with the green on back. If not, I vote for turquoise!

I really think the turquoise one would be better than the brown. You did a good job on the quilt.

Thank You Barbara!! I never considered using the flower pattern until you said this...and the lightbulb went on in my head *PERFECT*. I measured what I had left of it and it's enough! I have it all cut into strips and am working on sewing them all together, it will give me almost 30" extra to play with once it's all sewn, too!

frames the quilt in.......... brown is my choice.

You're welcome, Deema! Be sure to post a picture when your lovely quilt is finished.

By fleece are you saying the kind that is used for the tie blankets and sports jackets, etc? If so you have plenty of quilting --I make fake quilts (they only have two layers so family says they are "fake") using this type of fleece and have quilted as far as 12" apart to keep my fabrics together. Twenty years later they are still holding up and have been taken from car to house and back to car several times a week. LOL
