After receiving so many excellent ideas and words of encouragement from the good people on this board, I tore the top down to the middle square and went at it again. I am happy with the result...still a WIP - lol. Thought I would share the photos with you. Pics are a bit dark, but you get the idea.
The first pic shows the top as it is now, the second is with the two fabrics I am considering for a final, fat border.
The border will be on all four sides of course.
I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas....

Thanks!
Lori

I like the one on the right. Nice work!

GOOD JOB!! You did great correcting the problem !! Congratulations! I love it. I like the right pink border better than the left.

I like the one on the righ, flowers look a little to big for me way to go!!

Yes, the one on the right works...

nice save. it was ok before, now it is lovely. i think it was worth the effort, don't you. love the left border.

I definately like the camo best!

I have to agree with most everyone else....the border on the right. Great job with your correction.

The one on the right, flowers to big.

Hi, I like the big soft roses on the LEFT for your border, then use the one on the right for your Binding.
