Your bowl is fantastic and I love the fabric. I think the fabric would make a great one block wonder, so I'm going to my WalMart to see if I can find some. If not, I may be PMing you Eddie to see if you'd be willing to pick some up for me too. :D
I always thought those bowls were hard to sew on, but it sounds like if you get the cotton clothes line that it's not so hard to sew on. Did you have to use a denim needle?
