Yes, the quilt pattern is Hanging Gardens by Cozy Quilt Designs, Design by Georgette Dell'Orco. Description on front of the pattern says,"A Strip Club Pattern for 2-1/2 Strips." My pattern is in my "to do" box. I think it's a beautiful pattern!

I do have a blue moda that is a shade darker and now I am going to use it. The border is hour glass block, so I will use the darker moda on the opposing borders. Shouldn't be too noticeable.

I have to be honest, I don't like either one. They both are so much larger than your original block size in the quilt. I love the first photo that you posted as the quilt is. Can you make the border in the second picture a little smaller?? Proportionally, it is so much larger then you squares even if they are set on point.

Of the two choices, I do prefer #2 - but it does seem clunky compared to the main body of the quilt.

I have to reconsider my approach. I might just keep it as is.
