A Finish!
I got the binding sewn down a few days ago. I love that it is finished but I really wish I would have re-thought the red sashing. The stitching was so fun and easy that I may have to make it again to get it right.
It looks lovely Yvette.....Maybe you have looked at it for too long.....Tuck it away and when you get it out at Xmas I am sure you will love it....Well Done!
Love yours!! Great minds think alike on the fabric choice!! I too am going to do the light blue as the inner border and will choose a lighter green from the range for the bigger border. The stitching was simple and fun wasn't it!! Great work!, Susie
