So I asked if you liked the red border or not…..
I don’t know how to say this…..but you guys were useless!!
JUST KIDDING!!
The count was as close to 50-50 as it could be.
Most people who voted “no” said that it broke up the design too much and their eyes went straight to the border.
I can see that!!
My favorite comment from the pro side was from Lynne…… “it gives a resting place for your eyes and then the border become significant!”
Significant…..I like that!!
I could see that the bright red border might be distracting but what would it look like as a darker (burgundy red) border?
Maybe that wouldn’t draw the eye as much.
So, after a lot of going back and forth, I decided to move forward with the burgundy, but it was fraught with many perils, including tucks…..
…..and strips that were too short….
I had cut the strip 2-inches to begin with, but ended up taking off 1/4-inch to fix one of the issues!!
Now I had to figure out what to put in the corners….
In the final analysis, I decided to go with a solid square….
My only concern at this point was that I didn’t have much of that fabric left!! This was what went into the scrap bin…..
So, here is the final top…..
