I love pastels. Very beautiful. I can't wait to get working on one. I have two different fabrics and not sure which one to go with.

I haven't worked with piping for years and am somewhat nervous of it.
MamaBear ... What size and type of cording do you use?
and where do you buy yours? Fabricland? Lens?

The only cording/piping I have used was on throw pillows and Christmas stockings and they were fairly thick (about the size of your little finger). I have found Len's to have more colour selection than what was at Fabricland. The Fabricland in Stratford though is now called a home decor center and has improved their inventory on their trims, etc.
There was a posting here where a member made flange as part of their binding. It was a flat flange, not like cording but it give a unique look. I will see if I can find it. I should have bookmarked it at the time because I thought it was a nice idea to dress-up a quilt edge.
