Diane,
  Colors aren't true green or blue in the horse print, and the "green" is lime or neon like, so here are the fabrics I picked, and the yellow will either be used very lightly or not at all, just depends on the pattern I find.  And, your son won't want it, as it will have purple in it.   ;)

THE HECK WITH MY SON!!!  THIS ONE IS FOR ME!!!!!  And I like all the colors you are showing, and the yellow is pretty, and whatever green you find will be pretty, too, and is fine with me!

I'll have more orders, I'm sure, over the course of 2017 -- but decided I want this one for me.  I gave the other quilt I had chosen for myself to one of my daughters-in-law who gave me that wonderful "colt", so I'm replacing my "empty chair" for myself!

I'm attaching a new picture of my last "colt" - who will be 3 months old on the 6th.  He's come a long way since his arrival at 4 pounds 6 ounces, and is growing just fine having doubled his birth weight!

Hi there, Diane's grandson!!! I too prefer the second layout. Winter is making it's January appearance to us in the Southeast Diane, so you'd better find a loaner lap quilt to keep you warm until this one arrives!!

Done with the top per the pattern/directions.
It's 50x58", so similar in size to the red floral you gifted rather than keeping (that was 45x66").  I don't know how I could make it bigger without affecting the look, but could do it, if you really want it bigger.

Thank you.

Is the size good?  Or do you want it a little bigger?   Not sure the horse print would look good cut in 5" strips, but I could add one of the purples as a border.   
I have a lovely basic tone-on-tone vine print backing in almost the same turquoise/teal as the sashing/borders on the front.

A little bigger would be great, but it's just beautiful as it is if you want to leave it!

Ok, two options for more border:
With purple cornerstones or without?

Welll...if 'twere mine, I'd say purple.  But then again...

It's going to be lovely when it's finished.  I'd curl up with that in ANY room in our home AND take on the road too...  I think I'd have to carry that around from room to room - my "woobie"...

Diane, I am envious of that one!
