? I really enjoyed this. I've almost finished. Just the border and finishing to do. I wish I'd watched b4 I stitched as I used a thin muslin on the back which isn't too attractive plus I have a very, very messy back so going to get another piece of fabric to cover and use that. I wish I could work out how to get the entire butterfly area completely covered like Rebecca has shown. Mine is never that perfickly tidy (but tidy is not something that is standard in me!).
Always enjoy Rebecca's classes. Love her unique designs. Just ordered Spring Fling and looking forward to stitching along.
