Double Irish Chain with Shamrocks

Today's goal was to assemble the center, and lay out some border ideas I've been considering.  This quilt has been a great exercise in adjusting your needle position to get a perfect 1" square.  Even then, it took a bit of "coaxing" to get everything to line up!

I laid out several borders, but none of them had the same impact as a simple dark green frame.   The others seemed to compete with the quilt interior.  I think with a busy quilt, sometimes less is more.  :)
