I too think you should do a strip of pink (as in the picture) and maybe the binding the same grey that is in the picture. It is beautiful so do colors that will cause the eyes to zone in on the picture and not on a busy boarder. Nice job, who is the lucky person to get it?

Thanks so much for all of the comments on the cross stitch. I like the mat and frame idea. I will have to see what fabric will work best for it. Thanks for the ideas.

This is an item I am making to sell. It's time to start paying back student loans. :(

Beautiful job on the cross stitching!! :D :thumbup:

With all the time you put into the cross-stitch, I would frame it in browns and pinks, but then I would also put it under glass and really framed. That would be a gorgeous picture. Using the quilting as the matting. And I would think you could get a lot for it. I've done cross stitch and the colors in the hair and robe I know were eye straining to do. I would hate to see that work not covered in glass. Let us know what you are going to do, and make sure you post a picture when done.

That is just beautiful. I love your plan for framing it. Please post a pic when you finish.

That is a beautiful picture and you did an awesome job.

Very Beautiful

What a beautiful piece of work! I would only use soft colors
with it.
