After all that.....

I'm using my aquas for a patchy border.  Yep, I chickened. At this point I'm valuing "done" over "intricate".

 In person, it looks more like this:

which I think will be very pretty.  it's lighter than Bonnie's turquoise print, and using various aquas gives it more interest than a single fabric.

The big print arrived today:

It's going on the backing and will be cheery and fun.  HOWEVER - for the border it just will not do!  See:

It grabs the quilt, yells "See ya!" and runs away with it.  Just tooooo loud.  My fabric colors are too pale for this print.
