I love the ocean waves it is really beautiful. Your story about Elmo reminds me of when my son (now 20)carried a little stuffed dog called appropriately "PUPPY". His black eyes were painted on and every once in a while he would bring puppy to me and say "puppy is going blind!" and I would paint the eyes back on. Still have puppy in a box somewhere! thanks for your story which prompted my visit down memory lane!!<BR/><BR/>i, like you, am trying to complete UFOs and other pressing projects. But you are making much better progress. keep up the good work!!McIrish Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636354235693444855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18538999.post-1160019011078503252006-10-04T23:30:00.000-04:002006-10-04T23:30:00.000-04:00This is really nice.

I also think I would go darker rather than another red - maybe blue - then the red is more of an accent.<BR/><BR/>Whatever you decide I'm sure it will look great - I love log cabin quilts!Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801947879882584734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18538999.post-1159991559624544252006-10-04T15:52:00.000-04:002006-10-04T15:52:00.000-04:00I vote for adding only a red border.

I'd go for somewhere between 4" and 6". Maybe 5"? As long as you have enough red fabric.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125491177774966237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18538999.post-1159991193386164812006-10-04T15:46:00.000-04:002006-10-04T15:46:00.000-04:00It's just beautiful, Evelyn!
