    Are you an expert quilter? I am not, so I would use the darker backing and dark thread, hoping it would hide my errors!

    Well, I thank you all for your imput. Here's what I think I will do. To accentuate the off-white sashing, I'm going to do a wide strip of the dark fabric around it all and then use the pink as backing and bring it over to the front. That will turn the original lap size to nearly big enough for ME !!! I surely will post a picture when I'm done which will probably be several days, yet. I might start a new thread entitled My Choc/Rasp/Pink Finished .

    Can't wait for another swap.

    Blessings,
    Ruth

    I would use the darker fabric for the back and the binding, would look just lovely.

    Who is it for? That helps me decide, if I even have choices...
    I like darker....but lighter works too.

    Law child, I'm not an expert at anything. I am so in awe of the talent you ladies and gents have. I hope I can be somewhere near as good as the least of you when I grow up.

    Blessings,
    Ruth

    Well, I slept on it and now I'm undecided, again. Poof! ....and I gotta sleep, ya know! I love the dark as the backing and I think I might just use it for backing and wrap it around. hmmmm, I think.

    Blessings,
    Ruth
