    What a clever way to use your fabric. You created a lovely and unusual design. Simply beautiful.

    I made 'chevron' units with the striped fabric and framed the floral. Added some four-patch units, and voila!

    This just needs the wide floral border sewn on, and I will take the time to miter it.

    have a good evening.
