I'm eager to see those pictures! I made some sashiko patchwork and I'm ready to put it together into a project! Thanks.

Gorgeous! Absolutely wonderful! Thanks so, so much for sharing these!
Ali, here are the pics of one of them. They are pretty much the same. I tried to get a closeup of the different fabrics.
So cute!!
