yes that blue border just highlighted your quilt more. it definately changes the focus, the blue border makes the reds pop more and give the eye a small place to rest while scanning the quilt. beautiful!

Jeanie I think the blue border really changed the focus. I had already decided to use a colored border but if I hadn't this sure would have clinched it.

I agree with Coyote. I have also decided to add a solid border when my quilt top is done to let the eyes rest. And I am also making the Ohio Stars with the same center fabric to give the quilt another place to rest the eye. Yes, I would have been further ahead but 5 days without power stopped my progress. Can you imagine, I have three treadle machines and one hand crank and all of them are in various stages of fixing and restoration? I am going to remedy that situation ASAP.
