I am making this quilt for fund raising and I have loved the center top. I went to the quilt store and was lucky enough to have a few minutes with the shop owner.
I told her I am looking for an emerald green border. "No, you're not." Okay. What am I looking for, can we keep this emerald green splash of color? "Only if it is one inch or less on the first border to stop the center." Okay.
I found the deep blue border and she said, "yes, that's it." And then she said okay to my choice of backing - a lovely light blue pattern that has motion. The binding will also be the deep blue.
Now to assemble and quilt. Wait another couple of months. Drawing is March 2011, so I am ahead of schedule right now.
