Using that fabric for a border is a great idea, I do too like how it becomes part of the background and makes the blocks stand out So glad is turning out to your liking.

All my blocks are done and arranged on the design wall as they will be sewn together. I placed a piece of the focus fabric along side some of the blocks. I am thinking of using it for a border with no inner border separating it from the main quilt. I am liking the triangles poking into the quilt from the border and it makes the blocks look as if they are floating on it as the background. About a dozen of the blocks are still on the foundation paper for the borders. That's TV time work so I may go onto PIW (Projects-In-Waiting). I have one I would like to get off the design wall so that I have room to get the other Laura Nownes sampler quilt up there. Remember I was going 2 ways with color. I was loving the other colors from the start. This one was a color challenge, but I am liking it more now.
