    I may be cuddled under MY quilt in a week or so (sew?). Have 2 border design that I like. The setting blocks from the same fabric are simple X-hatching so I chalked it out on some border and quite like it, especially as I've used "line-patterns" quite a bit on the blocks.

    I also have a very different double-oval pattern that I like and would break away from all the lines.

    Keeping in mind that it will be stitched with invisible thread which does anyone think? I think I know, but would be interested in other opinions.

    I like the ovals, but I really don'/t know that much about choosing the right style for different patterns. I just like the curves. LOL

    I think it'll be great. Why invisible thread though?

    LOL - which would be great? Invisible because as a beginner I wasn't sure I'd want the stitching to show. I regret not choosing the basic taupe now. LOL. But I'm not about to unpick it all and redo!

    I am without opinion on your quilting, BUT I sure do like all those fabrics in the picture, both individually and together.
