I choose a third fabric it is the same color as the outside fabric just a different Kaffe Fassett print. Still working on it, should be finished tomorrow and I will post a picture.
My husband told me I would have had it done if I didn't spend much time on the computer LOL

I picked out fabrics to make two more for my niece's, hope to start cutting out the cardboard today. Hopeing to keep them for Christmas, not sure that will work. I have a feeling I will want to give them up once they are finished :-)

Brush, you made a great job of making that box, and no one would know about your TV 'mistake'. There is a saying about there being no mistakes, only opportunities, isn't there? I'm so glad you were able to make it and better still, that you perhaps enjoyed it? I hope so.

Thanks, Elle, but please don't quote me as being the designer, it isn't mine, a lady named Dilys Fronks designed the original (I think/hope I put that somewhere near the front). All I did was to take pics of the steps as I was making mine. It's easier to follow pictures I think, than to try and make out what a diagram is meaning, and some people aren't good at following written instructions.
