It's just as pretty on the back as it is on the front. Really like the border fabric. I know that you just have to love it. I have a friend that is fighting breast cancer. About a month ago her doctor told her that she has about 3 months. A friend had a cookout/bonfire with her & her husband as the guests of honor. She wants to do all she can and see as many friends as she can while she can still do it. Lots of people came. It was a sad, but fun cookout. Keep Carol in your prayers.
