Sarah's Quilt

What a mess I've made.... I'm trying to complete a quilt for my niece Sarah, picking colors is fun,
but the anticipation of it coming out like I want has made a unsure feeling down deep in my stomach.
This isn't bad compared to how it was yesterday, just trying to pick a good variety of colors
I made this quilt last year in a class with four of my friends, and then sat it aside and felt I would only make a small quilt. When I found out Sarah was getting married, her mother told me she loves 1970 things, Right way I felt this would fit her fancy. Then one of my friends had added a border of the spikes to her quilt and I was really attracted to it, so I started making mine. Then she showed me another photo having corner blocks that fit the theme. The First run for the second border went just fine. This isn't pressed yet, it's just to give me an idea of where I'm going?????
Yesterday I folded the things I had pulled out of my basket, separating the fabrics that were two dark and didn't show up that great. I completed one more border yesterday and have laid it on the back of the sofa and folded the other end close to see if I like the corner block? I hope I'm going in the right direction? I've been thinking the corner block maybe should be a little larger and that still might be a thought?


Back to my sewing room to make another border...
