Thanks everyone for the good words. I enjoyed making it but I hated to trim it up. Since I had lots of little pointy triangles around the edge I decided I didn't want to try and appliqué it onto a border. I am in the process of adding a one inch red border and then a five inch black border. I made a mistake in cutting the black border yesterday and I am trying to decide what to do. I don't have enough of the material to make a whole new strip. I cut 46 instead of 48. The other three strips are cut accurately. I just may have to go shopping and buy a whole different black. Ha!
