This is just gorgeous! The idea you have for the border really sets off the colors perfectly -- you are really talented in the selection of colors and clever in your designing...I'd LOVE to purchase your pattern. Keep us informed if you decide to sell it. I'd also love to know the names of the fabrics you selected, if you don't mind sharing that, too...one other question: is there a pattern for twisted log cabin like you mentioned using for the border? Or, would that be a part of your overall pattern for this piece?

Regarding the fabrics shown in the design, they are Hoffman batiks from the EQ fabric library. The ones I'm actually using were sent to me by a lady in the US as half yard cuts as a gift in return for a favour I did her so I have no idea what line they're from. But you can't go far wrong with Hoffman batiks in my book! :-D

See page 4 for the border layout - I wish I could add that pic to my opening post. The dark blue fabric I am aiming to use the Hoffman seahorse fabric posted recently by Anna in this thread http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-140224-1.htm - going to order some from the US, can't find it anywhere here in England!

Thanks for your helpful info! I'd love to try a twisted log cabin border sometime and, again, I'd love this pattern if you decide to sell it. Please keep me in mind...Can't wait to see more photos of your progress!
