It's beautiful! Have you tried putting the solid red next to the redwork? I think the redwork would really pop then. Then use the pretty read print for a border? Then binding it in red? Just my two cents worth! It really is pretty.
I think it looks really nice.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Could you take a picture with the two half triangles turned so the red is near the redwork.Quote:

k here it is with the red and the toile switched
These are so nice. I too think I would like the triangles switched. With red binding I think it would really bring attention to your beautiful redwork!Oh I see you did it love them this way!
here r the last 3 options (because I think all toile would be to much), I'm not usually this indecisive but since they are for gifts I want to get it right lol
I like the last options 1 and 2. Anything you do will be wonderful!
I like this one the best, (red near the redwork, using the triangles) shows off the redwork the best, IMHO. The handwork is beautiful!! I think it needs the triangles.Quote:
