Wow, that is an idea. I may do that.

Moving a few blocks to the sides, should I add a sashing or just bind it. On the subject of sashing fabric what is your suggestion. Something vintage or a tonal?, as not to take away from the beauty of the top.

Thanks

Why on earth would anyone get rid of something as beautiful as that? Glad it's been rescued by you. Enjoy it.

I've found some terrific things at Goodwill, but never anything as gorgeous as that. What I don't understand is how anyone could give it up.
