Well, I thank you all for your imput. Here's what I think I will do. To accentuate the off-white sashing, I'm going to do a wide strip of the dark fabric around it all and then use the pink as backing and bring it over to the front. That will turn the original lap size to nearly big enough for ME !!! I surely will post a picture when I'm done which will probably be several days, yet. I might start a new thread entitled My Choc/Rasp/Pink Finished .
Can't wait for another swap.
Blessings,
Ruth
