That border fabric is just excellent for the crosses and I agree with you on having that new fabric smack right up to the crosses...it is stunning.Taos Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858962854162972354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-56497214257038834032011-10-09T10:04:40.390-05:002011-10-09T10:04:40.390-05:00I would not change the blue corner.
