Thanks to everyone who has

Thanks to everyone who has commented. One of the advantages we receive in a group like this is the encouragement of our peers, and hopefully to encourage others to try something they think may be beyond their skills.

As if it didn't look good

As if it didn't look good enough without the blocking! Cherry leaf pattern, yes? It appears to have opened up quite a bit, despite being silk.

MMario - ambiguity is cultivated, it doesn't happen in a vacuum!

Nothing less than a

Nothing less than a verifiable Confection. Looks like the candle flame pattern out of Walker's 2nd Treasury which, if I remember correctly, is something like 24 lines long. Is that the pattern you used?

Regardless, it's perfection. Except for that dropped stitch just inside the border's selvedge edge on the left side . . . .

JUST KIDDING ! ! ! ! =^D It's wonderful and congrats to you!

Kerry (and others)...I wish

Kerry (and others)...I wish words could explain the beauty of the work. But alas...I end up saying the same stuff. So...from now on....if you read "inspiring," "beautiful" and the like...know I truly mean it (sincerely)! I guess I can only say it so many times but many of you are inspiring to me.
