I will admit that I screwed up a little bit because I thought I picked up enough Kona black to do the border. The top and bottom were perfect but the sides weren't long enough (misjudged) so I ended up using some leftovers from the fat quarters I had used in the quilt to make 4x4 blocks to go in each corner. I like it even better. My hubbie said it was better than being solid all around because it softened the corners and allowed your eye to look at the center, and not to be overwhelmed by the dark color all around it. Uh, yeah, sure, I meant for that to happen!
Oh, and I need some ideas. I have a friend whose wife is pregnant. He is Japanese and his wife's family is from Germany. I wanted to incorporate their cultures into a baby quilt (November), and I've just about decided to just go with fabrics from those countries. Japan is easy; there are so many cute ones to choose from! But I am really stuck on the Germany. Does anyone know of any German fabric designers, or neat things about the culture I could incorporate into a quilt?

Very pretty! Love the colors/fabrics. Would go perfectly in my house. Makes me smile when my "accidents" end up looking like I planned it. = )
I never would have known that wasn't the plan! Looks great! Thanks for linking up.
