I thought of a flange as well, just a tiny bit of red to add interest.

Love the pattern too. Since it is for a bazaar, I would keep it simple. If it was for myself, I would add little gift boxes on the bottom then bind it to match.

Great job--love that pattern. I think a red binding would really set it off.

Very pretty!

It's for our church bazaar, so my taste isn't important.

I'd add the green border before the binding. It would look more Christmasy.

I'd lay out your tops choices....1/2" border or whatever of your choices. Take a photo with camera. You'll discover very quickly which you prefer. I work best with concrete examples to help me decide. The wall hanging is very pretty. Wonder how it would look scrappy?

I would even consider using a green or brown binding instead of a red binding.

That might extend the "season" for it?

I would do a prairie point edge using the same light fabric as the background.

Ohhh. I would love to see this scrappy! This is a great pattern and you’ve done a lovely job. I too would audition options and take pictures. This always helps me decide what to do.
