You do not need to put a little of you into it if you do not want to, I thought you already had by the wonderful colors you have chosen. I already have the backing which should be along the same theme as the top so will be very nice. I think you are going to like it jillnjo. I am excited to get sewing on it, but have to do some more finishing for the end of the month UFO challenges, then in February, you are on the top of the list along with Whigrose. They are out at my desk just waiting and saying work on me please.
