What about using some toile fabric. This is the cotton fabric that shows ladies and men in gardens with very ornate clothing, etc. That will give it a sort of European flair. Any other suggestions out there quilters? I can't believe no one answered this question before. MaryW

I like the toile idea, you can do it as an attic window block. That or a snowball block. Ticia |
