The chicken and egg fabric won in the end. I decided not to put the narrow black border first. It would just be a lint catcher on a tablecloth and the background of the border print separates nicely from the pieced center. Most of the border will be hanging over the table edge.
I received the fabric that I won in a giveaway and I think they go well with the Hunter Star blocks so I'll be making four more blocks. They are just a little more green/turquoise so they will help balance out the 4 that are already in that shade. Most of the others are more blue/turquoise.
This photo is for the noreply person who inquired about the brand name on this fabric. I purchased it on sale in August 2012 so it is probably not available any more. Most of my fabrics age on the shelf for awhile before I use them. This one will age a little longer since I didn't choose it for the border.
My first thought was the "other" border fabric...then I thought, no! it needs to be happy and fun and not so "serious"...The unchosen fabric will enhance another project and the chickens will have fun in your kitchen! Looks great!
I read where someone called her fabric her 401F. I know my 401 F (which I have been accumulating for 30+ years has been appreciating faster than my 401K!
Your fabric is like wine it ages to a fine time for use. The table cloth is very nice. I need to do that process for one table I have. Chris
