It would just nicely frame all the gorgeous blocks. How are you planning to quilt it?

I'm not sure yet. I usually don't have a clue until I get it in the hoop. Most of the time I do what I call shadow quilt, following the design just outside of the seam allowance.

my, you've been busy! Other than the pink, I see no predominate color. A dark border would tie it together, then a pink to finish it off would be great. Size would depend on the finished size you're looking for. Can't wait to see what it looks like quilted! Have you got your longarm yet??
