Can't wait to see what you do!

And I like 3 kats idea of cutting the piano keys down just to 4½". And whether you enclose that strip or leave it and bind would look nice either way.

So keep that in mind. <br /><br />Personally, I love red quilts, so I like the red the best! However, I disagree with you that they need to be lopped off to a coin-sized version. <br /><br />Please consider putting a red border on first, and then just the full-sized piano keys with a red binding.<br /><br />Having said all that, it is your quilt! And your best design option is to sleep on all the information and then look at it with fresh eyes. It will be an exciting quilt!Vic in NHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552281371631960555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409545905735011881.post-82147348458152512572012-08-15T21:09:43.074-05:002012-08-15T21:09:43.074-05:00They are all pretty but I like the last one best I...They are all pretty but I like the last one best I think.quiltncathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786585035018133189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409545905735011881.post-62420137022515262172012-08-15T21:05:24.689-05:002012-08-15T21:05:24.689-05:00Actually, I like the first one, without the separa...Actually, I like the first one, without the separating strip.katieinnebraskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918413136872527045noreply@blogger.com
