Thanks...=)
That is the sad part. I found and fell in love with this on ebay and I can't match the dark to make binding... Hope I learned a lesson... Don't even look at ebay...

Thanks for your suggestion... =)
Signed,
Bound and determined to figure something out...

I think the dark color for the cornerstones. The print makes it look too "washed out" or too "weak"...not strong and definitive like the dark cornerstones do. Just my 2 cents worth...

I think I would have gone for a dark green like what's in the print for the cornerstones. Too much purple for me, but that's just MHO :)

I can't seem move forward right now... I may discard the light purple plaid sashing now. Boy! I am not good at this... or my perfectionist paralyses me...

Put more of the floral in--border would be good. I think that will perk it up.

Good suggestion!

Ok... Thank you... I plan to use the dark as the cornerstone and reach the ebay store I bought from and try to get enough of the dark fabric for binding then I think I will be content to like it.

Thanks Friends!

Blessings,
