African fabric projects

I finished hand sewing the binding and the hanging sleeve last night on my African crooked cobblestones.  It is about 24" x 34".
I also finished the other 2 mug rugs.
I used this fabric on the back of the wallhanging and the mug rugs.  The color changes from area to area so it appears to be 3 different fabrics.

    WOW! Outstanding! I've said it before and I'll say it again, NOBODY, but NOBODY puts fabrics together as well as you do.

    The change, using the African fabrics, is so interesting in those Cobblestones. Yikes.........I think I finally got rid of all my African fabrics in my last yardsale ! I never came up with a deserving project for their uniqueness. YOU DID !
