I was slightly stumped when shopping the stash for a border fabric, as nothing seemed to work. I really wanted to enhance that vibrant blue in the watercolor section on the right. I finally found this blue-green piece in my "landscape" stash of fabrics. I like the way the pieced area blends and flows into it.
A good close up for those of you who asked about the fabric selection. It takes a large collection/selection for this one.
The dragon fly has 3 colors for the body, and 7 colors in the wings. But that is another story....
Renewed----reworked, turned, and added to. I think I will hang this in the sewing room to enjoy for a while.
Happy stitching.
It is gorgeous Debbie! The border fabric is perfect. ~Jeanne
