Thanks, everyone! good advice. I decided to take the three sides off and put the border in the new fabric, leave the center as is and make the geese out of the new fabric.
It was just to early for me I think! Usually I don't even open my eyes until about 10. When I ironed the baggie, I knew it was time to walk away from the sewing room. So now I need a new iron, hey getting a new Iron is always a good thing!
Again thanks for all the great advice. So on to the 'wild' geese!
