Well, I never considered you to be handicapped...(in any way!) OK...so we'll just try to be fair and say you are color blind...in only 1 eye :lol: :lol: :lol: JK!!!!

I'd say you did a great job closing the gap!

I finially finished the first round of the Chinese Puzzle and will try to send it on it's way tomorrow or the next day. I kept looking at it for days and finially decided it needed to have a trellis and some vines on two sides.

I embroder the leaves and flowers. Used French knots for the flowers and tried to make the vine weave inbetween the slats of the trellis. It was fun to do.

OKAY You ladies have all out done yourselves so far on these quilt tops. Now I'm wishing I had the time to have joined. :cry: Oh well, maybe next time. Keep up the wonderful work, and give yourselves a pat on the back for JOBS WELL DONE.

Here's Sandpats centre with the first border (2 rows) - plain & simple I feel this is what was called for to prevent it from looking too busy.
Hope you approve Patti.

Tisha :wink:
