I've used old demin from much used jeans, layers of different weight materials, and even felt as a stable backing flower. I like yours, especially the one with the gingham. Perhaps blue gingham and denim? Mmmmm, you've got me going now! xxBarb Cadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476278647265845823noreply@blogger.com
