It's absolutely beautiful and such a great idea mixing and matching designs. Have you thought of using it to make a cushion front?

Looks great! I'm like Cecilia. I think it would make a beautiful cushion or pillow.

:wub: :applesauce: this is absolutely beautiful!! It's going to make a very nice finished project--I'd either use it as a pillow top or frame it!! Nice work--I especially like the bottom band--may I ask where you found that design, it's great!!!

Hmmm, I don't think you'll have much to learn :D Blackwork seems pretty easy for me (the basic techniques at least).
What I've learned from this design is to pick a better fabric next time. I also plan to try a more complicated design.

It's beautiful, and I agree it would look gorgeous on a bag!

Beautiful work! I agree, a nice show piece could be a cushion or a bag.
