Wow Suzic!!! That is just, well...wow! I love it! I hope you will stick with it for your center as I can think of lots of borders that would look fantastic with that! I can think of lots of people that will have a hard time passing it on as well...I know my DH would want me to keep that one! He struggles with the concept of all the work, then mailing it off! :roll:

Thank you all!:D It was a lot of intricate cutting, so glad it came out like it was supposed to. I still don't know whether to add a little border to it or not, may try placing material around and seeing what it looks like. I'd have to cut it down as it's already a little too big.

I will definitely add a narrow border to my center to bring it to a "normal" size. Will play with fabrics - maybe each side a different one? We'll see.
Pitsburgpam, that will be stunning. I love bright, bold colors against black.
Suzic, your center is amazing. What a lot of detailed cutting. You did a wonderful job.
