Here is the intersection of four of the blocks. You can see the 1/2" finished frame around each block. Varying these colors would make for a very dramatic quilt. I was trying to play it down some with the gold.
Here is the pieced border. I cut up the extra strips I had already cut for the center and used them so it would sort of match, but it would be hard to tell if a stray got in there!
What appears to be spots are drops of water from the iron. Didn't wait for them to dry.
Lastly, a picture of my progress tonight. I did not have anything else to do. My oldest four were at college or work and my youngest four were watching a movie. I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Oh Joan...lucky you have your friend quilting!
Once again another stunner from you!
Ooh! I love the gold framing with the red -- that is scrumptious! I like how it separates the blocks; you can see each one as an individual and as part of the whole! Nicely done!
Blessings,
