    Next WIP- to change or not to change?

    Hey all,

    I have started my next project for a friend, a set of four table mats for their new camper van. She is having an op so its sort of a get well gift I guess. Anyway, I need to know if I should put a border between the two colours. This was the original plan to put a strip of brown wood patterned material between row 2 and 3 but there was a... cutting error... I think the two colour sets are too similar and need that seperation to make them stand out, but first of all Ill see what you lovely people think!

    Yes I agree, a strip between would make them shine. They'll look terrific in the camper van...very sweet.

    Yes, I think they need a strip. If not brown then maybe match the orange of the foxes.

    You might consider having the fabric go in a diagonal direction.

    Thanks everyone I will unpick this evening and I like the idea of using the orange to pick out the hiding foxes! Maniac i will be using that pattern for my christmas themed ones... which are about item number 783 on the list...

    I'm glad you're adding a fabric strip in between, I think it'll look great. Be sure to post updated pics!

    I agree with a darker color separating strip. They will look great!
