I love the look of the checker board, and also think that a red border between the checker board and the quilt would calm it down and unify it all.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392533321876710743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409545905735011881.post-68303365148371411132013-10-21T08:52:31.411-05:002013-10-21T08:52:31.411-05:00I guess I always have to be different.
