Jenniky ... wow! you're really coming along with it. And here I thought you were still in the paper and pencil stage. Silly me for thinking so!!!!!! What about leaving the border, until you have your blocks done and audition a bunch of options?
Moi? .... I just might have Miss Peep's meadow fabric chosen. I found a grass like fabric yesterday with a wee bit of bling. I just bought a small piece to play with for the weekend, as I thought it might be too vibrant. No flowers, on it like I had wanted, so may do some embroidery or applique to make that happen. So I'm thinking it'll work, as it'll give me the contrast to show the sheep that some of the paler greens wouldn't. Peep may end up being a little more colourful than I had envisioned. Still sleeping on it and will decide by Tuesday if it's a go ... or if I am back to sqaure one.
