Well, I started the top, but have to wait for the coordinate with words to come in the mail. I'll use it for a border, and a sashing down each side to separate the top from the part hanging down the sides of the bed.
Tanya - I like the idea of a pillow case, and I have enough of everything to do that. I also have a tiny chocolate brown/tan check to use. I used it as the little corner stones, and there is a pillow sham to match.
I'll post a picture of what I got done so far.
I love my design wall that I bought at JoAnne Fabrics. BUT - the cheap $2 vinyl table cloth I hung up next to it works JUST as well!!!
