Thanks for the drawing. I went straight to my colored pencils and drew it out roughly on paper, and I am sure going to try that. It is fabulous. What a great save. Thanks again.

Those are beautiful. You took one pattern and turn it around to show a different design. How creative.

Don't know exactly what I'll do with this yet, but it was a good distraction while I came to terms with the fact I couldn't continue with the original pattern because of my mistake. Not enough fabric left to start over.

I think I will figure out some way to supplement the sides of the long runner. Any ideas?

HEY THAT IS NEAT LOOKING I LIKE IT A LOT.I DON'T SEE ANY MISTAKES.
