no I don't have the book , was just thinking on my own since I really like my layout and don't want to have to move it around if I cut more. then I got to thinking about black?? still not sure yet. I did buy the rest of the fabric that the store had so that I could add borders. I will have to try laying both down to see what I like. well off to bed have to be up early to go to a class with DH and then off to the SHOP HOP!!!!!
