Thanks ladies. Having settled on the design I've begun cutting the fabric.
Maybe my next will be another variation since I can't really settle on the design cause I can see many variations - maybe that's what quilting is all about!

Would love something of my own that is more flexible and would let me load the actual fabrics I am wanting to use to see exactly how it would look. Is there anything like that??
Thanks for your kind words :)

WhiteTiger and GramaLaura - tell me what you think of the revised image. I'm gonna post it after this message.
I've tried to answer all questions. Sorry if I missed anyone. And thanks to everyone for your lovely words.
A slightly different treatment of the border. Stippling of the sashing will help to lighten it up!
