Here it is all laid out on the floor. You can see that my "Quilt Inspector" (Pluto the Beagle) thinks it is already a nice spot to lay down on! I had such problems with the last blue border... I was using one of the Andover "Dimple" prints that I have had for a while, and they do not say their specific color number on the selvage! I ended up cutting off a piece and mailing it to a quilt shop so that they could help me figure out exactly which color it was. It was an unexpected delay in trying to finish this quilt.
The backing is going to be a wide backing from fabic.com, "Kaufman 108" Wide Quilt Backing Widescreen Grid Tonal White", which is basically a white on white crosshatch turned 45 degrees. I am excited about the binding that I chose, it is a blue striped fabric, I think it will bring a bit of fun and whimsy to the quilt, you will have to stay tuned to see a picture of it.
Now I am off to pin everything together, wish me luck. In the meanwhile, here's another picture of the Quilt Inspector...
