I combined a few of the suggestions, and added a red layer under the blue, and also added green stitching on top of the blue. I'll post it later this weekend if you are interested.Leslie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514397178022946975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-299062874363530600.post-4798053141128277002007-11-29T10:49:00.000-05:002007-11-29T10:49:00.000-05:00My initial response is that the blue just isn't th...My initial response is that the blue just isn't the right color...I do like that piece, but maybe try a different color?

Not sure when I'll get a chance to fix it, but I'll post what I come up with eventually!
