Thanks all; Lacelady, sandpat, SharonC, Kluedesigns, gaigai, Eddie, Angie, butterflywing, JoanneS. and PamP, I just wanted to let you know I changed the sashing. Really and honestly I thought I was alright with leaving it, but you all convinced me.
Mind you, I confess, I was tempted to say some very nasty words. I took that sashing out and I swear I was going to have to take it to the LQS with a hole in the middle. Do you think I could get that sucker back in? It GREW as soon as I took it out.
