I followed the clues until I got to the outer border using my dark blue (E-2). I realized it is too close to the color of my outer border fabric A. Luckily I had enough of my peach fabric (B) and I think it works out nicely in place of E-2 blue. I can’t decide if I still want to add the planned outer border. I have enough of E-2 to use it as the 6.5” outer border instead. I’m trying to decide. Here is a photo of where I am at this point.

Yours looks wonderful so far! Thanks for posting your photo, it is inspiring.

Reba, you’re doing great. Look forward to seeing your finished top.
Beverly...smart move to change your E2 border...the peachy coral fabric really sets off the floral border. Great job!

I’m still looking for ideas and suggestions Hepworth to go about quilting this one...

I change my quilt a bit. Here's a picture of what I have so far. I still need to put the saw tooth blocks, the 4 stars and the outer border.

The quilts look good, ladies. I am nearly done with my top. Just need to run out and get .25 yd more of my outer border fabric, if I can still find some.
