I cut out my 4 outer borders yesterday. Today, after church, I traced the pattern onto the first strip and I traced the pattern pieces onto my Wash-Away Applique sheets. I will probably cut them out this evening while I watch TV and then tomorrow I will be ready to cut the pieces out of fabric. I am using 2 different batiks for the borders. I am still unsure what colors I will use in the embroidery. I think I will wait until the applique is finished and then decide on the colors of my embroidery thread.
