Well, it didn't turn out exactly like I wanted (as if that is something new to any of us....), but I like it. Since it had to be backed, figured I'd just make it reversible.

I will NOT use dual colors for the edging again, though. It was a pain. Others to do - grouped on being able to do the same color edging:
Christmas/Confederate Heros Day (if I can find the fabric),
Valentines/Easter
Texas Independence Day/4th of July
Birthday/Bluebonnets (for everyday - am doing kitchen in BBs). Probably none will begin until after Jan. 1 except maybe the Christmas one.

Very cute! What a great idea!

Really like that. Must try one. How did you do it?

Just made 18 stips 3" wide (about 18" long) and sewed together. Then squared it up. Then folded and cut the angles. Saw it on a TV show.

Then added the edging - hint - use the same color edging. Was really a pain putting it on.

Didn't take but about 20 minutes to piece all of the strips. I did not put any padding in between, since it was thick enough with just the two sets of strips. I think I will put some interfacing in the next one, though.

Thats the first one that I might try , I like the idea it serves for two holidays..looks great to me :D

That's a great idea! Too bad the edging was so hard, it looks really nice!

Wow! That's great and such a great idea! Wish I'd thought of it! lol

I love that! I especially love that it's reversible!! AWESOME!

That is very nice! Great idea!
