first off welcome to the QB. As you may notice there are many willing to share some helpful thoughts with you. As far as your border I would meander around the border FMQ as you go nothing fancy just meandering. No need for anything more in your white spaces. This quilt has so many lovely quilted spaces. Great Job. I hope to see a great deal of you on the QB sharing and learning from each other is what it is all about. Again welcome to the QB.
