It might be more work than I want to do and the space isn't that big--maybe 3 inches top & bottom and sides a little less. Maybe I'll look for some buttons to sew around it. I just don't know!
I'll probably bind it with a medium blue fabric--I guess that means another trip to Joanns! I want to have it completely done by next Thursday
I still like the brown on this new border. It will act as a picture frame, and in the other picture of the brown binding, I found it to be restful. I think the plaid, although I love plaid, made me feel frazzled.
